The Davis–Moore hypothesis, sometimes referred to as the Davis–Moore theory, is a central claim within the structural functionalist paradigm of sociological theory, and was advanced by Kingsley Davis and Wilbert E. Moore in a paper published in 1945. The hypothesis is an attempt to explain social stratification.
Davis Moor Thesis was based off of three main things with one big question: prestige, power, and wealth and how do we measure the social classes. Davis Moor claimed that rewards were the valued things given to those who are the most important in society. He also said that greater rewards were given to those who are in a difficult occupation to fill. Take for instance a doctor. A doctor has to go to school for many more years than the average employee and so because of this, he gets lifes "perks". He gets paid more because his job takes a lot to fill.
