Welcome Class BBA-L08- / / Social Mobility 1 Today’s Objectives  to clarify the concept of Social Mobility along with its Factors and Types. To understand the nature and other relevant Aspects.  2 What is Social Mobility? 1) “Social Mobility is a change of position and status of any person or transformation from one level to another is Social Mobility.” (David Popnoe). “Social Mobility is a transformation from one state to another state.” (Fare Child) “The Changes taking place in the position and status of an individual in his / her Social life is Social Mobility.” (P.A Morkin). 3 2) 3) Conclusion The wish for a higher status and income than one’s parents had is the global dream. The process where people achieve or fail to achieve this is called Social Mobility. It is natural desire of every human to lead a convenient and well-situated life. A one has to attain better adjustment with its geographical and social environment to realize its this desire. To fulfill his needs and desires he / she changes the locality and some time changes the profession, this process of change in profession or geographical environment is called Social Mobility. e.g. in our society most of the people living in Rural areas change their locality and profession to bring change in their Social Status. 4 Nature of Social Mobility Social Mobility may be defined as the act of moving from one social class to another. An open class society is one in which mobility is high; a closed class is one in which there is little mobility. The caste system in which people are confined to the occupations and statuses of their ancestors is the most extreme example of an closed class society (Berreman, 1981). India is often sited the world’s most caste-ridden country. Its government now is opening higher status occupations to low- caste groups which, for centuries, have been limited to low- status work. It is trying to move India toward an open class society ( Gandhi, 198
