There are disagreements about what constitutes social mobility, but there is broad agreement that people should have roughly equal chances of success regardless of their economic status at birth. Concerns about rising inequality have engendered a renewed interest in social mobility - especially in the developing world. However, efforts to construct the databases and meet the standards required for conventional analyses of social mobility are at a preliminary stage and need to be complemented by innovative, conceptual, and methodological advances. If forms of mobility have slowed in the West, then we might be entering an age of rigid stratification with defined boundaries between the always-haves and the never-haves - which does not augur well for social stability.UNU-WIDER studies in development economics.Oxford scholarship online.Social mobilityDeveloping countriesEconomic developmentDeveloping countriesSocial mobilityEconomic development305.513091724Iversen VegardKrishna Anirudh1958-Sen Kunal1961-StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910522596003321Social mobility in developing countries2807396UNINA
