Social Mobility In Late-Industrializing Societies I

This session examines the relationship between patterns and rates of intergenerational mobility and the process of industrialization. In contrast to early industrializers, late-industrializing societies have experienced distinct trajectories and tempos of economic development. The rapid and compressed nature of industrialization in these societies has important implications for intergenerational mobility. The session explores how different pathways of industrialization shape opportunities for social mobility and influence patterns of social stratification across generations.
