1. Introduction

A society is constituted by the people who are dynamic (

over –changing) in nature. From the primitive uncivilized

form it has evolved in to modern civilized and cultured

society. This proves beyond doubt the dynamic ( ever-

changing) nature of the society in which social mobility has

played a dominant role since time immoral. The social

position, status and economic conditions of people change

from time to time. In many cases social status and economic

standard of person changes due to hard work or lighter

education or purely due to superior intellect. Better

education and better service also help in change of the

socially disadvantaged groups like women and the people

belonging to scheduled castes, Scheduled tribes or backward

classes. Lack of better education and will to do hard work

have made rich people poor, thereby lowering the standard

of living. Such type of changes which are observed in the

social status, class, economic condition and standard of life

of a person are spoken of as Social Mobility.

1. According to P.A. Sorokin: “ By social mobility is

meant any transition of anl individual from one position

to another in a constellation of social group and strata.”

2. According to S. Bogardus: “ Social mobility is any

change in social position, such as occupational changes

where persons move up or down the occupational scale,

or relation to office whereby a follower becomes a

leader, or a leap from a low economic class to a high one,

or vice-versa.”

In the above definitions the nature of social Mobility has

been dearly explained ldin relation to occupation, income

organizational membership etc. Individuals with high

aspirations tries to improve his social status and moves

upward.

2. Types of Social Mobility

In accordance with the direction of movement of the people

in the society, Social mobiulity can be categorized into two

types.

1. Horizontal Social Mobility

2. Vertical Social Mobility.

Horizontal Social Mobility

When the movement of a person occurs from one situation

to another at the same level i.e. within the single stratum, the

process lis called horizontal social mobility . In other words,

in this type of mobility, there is no change in the social

status of the individual but there is a change in his

affiliations. For example, when a Principal of Secondary

School at palm joins at the same post in a Secondary School

at South Ex. In this example the status and role of the person

working as a Principal remains the same but there is a

change in the place of work which brings about change in

this affiliations, thus he shows horizontal social mobility.

Vertical Social Mobility

Sorokin says, “ By vertical mobility. I mean the relations

involved in a transition of An individual ( or social object)

from one social stratum to another”. The movement of a

person from one stratum of the society is referred as Vertical

Social Mobility i.e. , in Vertical Social Mobility there is a

change in the status of the individual . The individual attains

high education and becomes rich, He moves upward in the

social hierarchy. For example, when a teacher becomes a

lecturer in a college is said to have moved vertically in the

types :Upward Social Mobility ( Ascending Mobility) and

Downward Social Mobility (Descending mobility)

Upward Social Mobility

It refers to the movement from lower to higher occurs from

position. Ascending mobility means the entry of i.e., within

persons from lower strata and prestige to higher status and

prestige groups. For example, if a person is born in a family

of a sweeper and after acquiring must learn the cultural

behaviors of officers. This requires the individual trying for

upward social mobility to learn the following.

(i) Ability to behave and work according to upper class

people.

(ii) Language, style and their dress pattern.

(iii) He must live in that area of city where upper class

people live.

(iv) He must also develop the ability to participate in social

functions organized by them.

Another examples of upward social mobility are promotion

of a lecturer to readership and promotion of a minister of

state to minister of cabinet rank etc.

Downward Social Mobility

Downward or Descending mobility means going down of a

person from higher position prestige and status to lower

ones. It may occur due to political changes, Economic difference etc
