Description
Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, Volume 18 reflects the growing diversity of perspectives, methods and insights
currently used in social stratification research.
Authors discuss the following broad themes from an international perspective: the
changing real and symbolic boundaries of social stratification; who benefits from rapidly changing markets; immigration, marginalization
and exclusion; and modelling occupational mobility.
The contributions demonstrate the changing nature of social stratification systems
in today's global and fragmented economy.
