Patterns of social mobility across social groups in India
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.
