Education is a crucial factor in promoting social mobility. Higher education and skill development provide individuals with better opportunities to improve their social standing. A quality education system allows individuals to move upward in society.

How does individual capability impact social mobility?

What is an example of structural factors influencing social mobility in Indonesia?

An example of structural factors influencing social mobility is the political system in Indonesia. The democratic system allows citizens to achieve high positions, such as becoming the president, based on merit, rather than hereditary lineage.

What are the economic factors that drive social mobility?

Economic factors can drive social mobility when people in economically disadvantaged situations move to urban areas, hoping to improve their economic standing. For example, people from poor rural areas often migrate to cities in search of better economic opportunities.

What is the impact of political systems on social mobility?

Political systems can greatly impact social mobility. A dynamic political environment, such as a democracy, offers opportunities for individuals to rise in status, as political parties and organizations can support members who demonstrate capability.

Obstacles to social mobility include discrimination based on race, religion, or ethnicity, gender differences, and rigid caste systems, which restrict certain groups from improving their social standing.
