Social mobility, ethnicity and immigration

Posted on by lucindaplatt

Drawing on a decade of work on ethnicity and social mobility, this paper, presented as a plenary at the European Sociological Association 2015 conference in Prague, argues that serious and systematic attention to social mobility across ethnic groups has the potential to illuminate not only migration processes and immigrant outcomes, but also to shed light on the the factors implicated in social mobility and the intergenerational transmission of social class position more generally.
