Class and Gender Influence
Women and children in first and second class had significantly higher survival rates due to evacuation prioritization.
Barriers for Third-Class Passengers
The study highlights physical and procedural barriers that restricted third-class passengers from accessing lifeboats.
Policy Effects
Specific shipboard policies, like directing men toward certain areas and limiting their access to lifeboats, contributed to lower survival rates among third-class men.
Class Interactions
The interactions between class and gender significantly impacted survival, with higher-class passengers generally having better survival odds.
Conclusion
Gender and class jointly influenced survival rates, indicating a complex social dynamic beyond the “women and children first” policy.
