Q & A

What is social mobility?

Social mobility refers to the movement of an individual or a group from one social position to another, either upward or downward, within a social hierarchy.

What is the difference between vertical and horizontal mobility?

Vertical mobility involves movement between different social strata, either upward (improving social status) or downward (declining in social status). Horizontal mobility refers to movement within the same social level, meaning no change in social status.

Can you provide an example of vertical upward mobility?

An example of vertical upward mobility is a farmer who becomes a successful entrepreneur, improving their social status from a lower class to a higher class.

What does vertical downward mobility mean?

Vertical downward mobility refers to a decline in social status, such as a successful entrepreneur who loses their business and becomes unemployed, experiencing a decrease in social position.

What is horizontal mobility and how is it different from vertical mobility?

Horizontal mobility refers to a change in profession or social position without altering one's social status. For example, a farmer changing to a fisherman. In contrast, vertical mobility involves a shift to a different social strata, either upward or downward.

What is intergenerational mobility?

Intergenerational mobility refers to social mobility that occurs between different generations of a family. It can be upward or downward, such as a child achieving a higher social position than their parents, or conversely, a decline in status across generations.

Can you give an example of upward intergenerational mobility?

An example of upward intergenerational mobility is when a grandfather works as a school guard, his child becomes a teacher, and his grandchild becomes a district official, indicating improvement in social status across generations.

What is intragenerational mobility and how does it differ from intergenerational mobility?

Intragenerational mobility refers to social mobility within a single generation. It involves changes in an individual's status during their lifetime, while intergenerational mobility refers to changes in status between different generations.

What is the significance of geographical mobility in the context of social mobility?

Geographical mobility, such as urbanization, involves the movement of people from rural to urban areas in search of better economic opportunities, education, and living conditions, which can result in improved social mobility.

How does urbanization contribute to social mobility?

Urbanization can lead to social mobility by providing individuals with access to better job opportunities, education, and healthcare, which may not be available in rural areas. This migration from rural to urban areas can improve one's social status.
