What does the concept of social mobility and its types mean?
| November 28, 2020 | education
Social mobility is a change in an individual’s position in society, a transition from one social stratum, class or group to another.
Social mobility can be horizontal or vertical.
Horizontal – when a person is promoted at work, or vice versa, fired. He either gets new responsibilities, rights, etc., or, on the contrary, loses them.
Vertical mobility is explained by the fact that a person, for example, changes jobs, but remains in the same position.
One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
