Middle Class is a demographic phenomenon. It expands as the demographic window opens (the majority of the population is between 25 and 49 years old) and the pyramid has a bulge in the waist.

See this animation to know what I mean:

It contracts when the majority of the population is older, That is the pyramid looks as if upside down.

Middle Class is non existent as when the pyramid is standing with a wide base and a tiny top. That is the majority of the population is below 25 years of age.
