What Is Social Mobility?

Social mobility is the movement of individuals, families, households, or other categories of people within or between social strata in a society. It is a change in social status relative to one's current social location within a given society. Achieved social mobility occurs when an individual's or family's economic and/or social status improves as a result of their own efforts or achievements. Inherited social mobility occurs when an individual or family's economic and/or social status improves as a result of the advantages bestowed upon them by their parents or other relatives.
