Review

“[T]his volume maintains a high standard throughout and in fact constitutes quite essential reading for all interested in social stratification or the sociological aspects of economic development.”

—John H. Goldthrope, The British Journal of Sociology

"A valuable collection of articles on social mobility, covering many aspects of the subject, and presenting some interesting ideas and findings. The particular interest of this book lies in the theme of economic development, giving a specific perspective to the different aspects of social mobility. This is an important contribution to the literature on social mobility."
