Abstract

Classic studies treated social mobility mainly as the movement of individuals up—or down—an income or occupational ladder. Today, scholars and policy institutions frame it more broadly as a multidimensional, life-course process that both reflects and shapes equality of opportunity. This article reconstructs that modern definition, explains why it has widened beyond the “rags-to-riches” trope, and outlines the metrics, drivers, and policy levers that now dominate the field.
