论文摘要
社会流动性捕获了儿童社会经济地位的程度，独立于其各自父母的地位。为了衡量社会流动性，最广泛使用的社会经济地位指标是收入，教育和职业。尽管基于收入的社会流动性衡量较少，但印度环境中的数据可用性限制了我们观察沿教育或职业方面的流动性模式。在这项研究中，我们观察到这两个主要维度的不同社会群体的社会流动模式，并发现尽管SCS/ST的教育向上和向下移动的前景在最近有所改善，但职业流动模式令人担忧。这些结果促使需要调和教育和职业界限的不同趋势，以便更全面地了解该国的社会流动性。
Social mobility captures the extent to which socio-economic status of children, is independent of status of their respective parents. In order to measure social mobility, most widely used indicators of socio-economic status are income, education and occupation. While social mobility measurement based on income is less contested, data availability in Indian context limits us to observing mobility patterns along the dimensions of either education or occupation. In this study we observe social mobility patterns for different social groups along these two main dimensions, and find that while upward and downward mobility prospects in education for SCs/STs is somewhat improving in the recent times, occupational mobility patterns are rather worrisome. These results motivate the need for reconciling disparate trends along education and occupation, in order to get a more comprehensive picture of social mobility in the country.
