In case you wonder the most important findings regarding social mobility. Here are five highlights: 2/2 3 Multigenerational influences are important 4 Intragenerational mobility has intergenerational implications 5 Mothers become increasingly important More details please see 👇 #mobility

In case you wonder the most important findings regarding social mobility. Here are five highlights: 1/2 1 Some countries experienced increasing mobility 2 Microclass occupational classifications allow more precise estimates of mobility than big group occupational classifications

Research on family demography and gender inequality are also on the rise. It’s great to see the growing affinity between demography and stratification research. #socialstratification #mobility

Research on Social Mobility, Occupation, Class, and Social Structure has declined over the last two decades. It’s time to revisit many classic themes in these fields and develop new insights. #socialstratification #mobility #RSSM

Check out the new trends in social stratification research! Which topic has become increasingly popular over the last two decides? Educational inequality! Thanks, Professor Michelle Jackson, for sharing this! #StanfordCenterForPovertyandInequality #ASA #ISA

Most important findings on social stratification and mobility from the 1970s to the 2000s #socialmobility #stratification #RSSM

What we have learned from RC28’s contributions over the last two decades? @jenniebrand Hyunjoon Park and Michelle Jackson showed that scholars affiliated with RC28 have made so many important contributions over the last two decades and collectively shaped the field. Stay tuned for their paper. #CCPR
