1 Some countries experienced increasing mobility
2 Microclass occupational classifications allow more precise estimates of mobility than big group occupational classifications

Research on family demography and gender inequality are also on the rise. It’s great to see the growing affinity between demography and stratification research. #socialstratification #mobility

Research on Social Mobility, Occupation, Class, and Social Structure has declined over the last two decades. It’s time to revisit many classic themes in these fields and develop new insights. #socialstratification #mobility #RSSM

What we have learned from RC28’s contributions over the last two decades? @jenniebrand Hyunjoon Park and Michelle Jackson showed that scholars affiliated with RC28 have made so many important contributions over the last two decades and collectively shaped the field. Stay tuned for their paper. #CCPR
