A Question of Comparative Research on Social Mobility
Abstract
The task of the article is a presentation of possibilities, of comparative research
of social mobility. Categories of social mobility were introduced for the
analysis of modern industrial societies. But the discussed phenomenon was also
observed in the pre-industrial societies. Presentation of the basic categories of
social mobility is the departure point for the discussion in the article. Presentation
basic lilterature of the subject dated back to the pre-war Pitrim Sorokin
works ought to indicate shortcomings of various handling of social mobility. The
researchers too often identify it merely with the social advancement discussed only
in categories of profession, omitting the group aspect of the phenomenon, not
referring their analyses to the theory of society as a whole. The article discusses
a number of indices of social mobility. Various examples of social mobility observed
in the old societies are also quoted. It can prove the weight of that research,
rarely taken up in sociology, concentrating itself on modern times. A sociological
reflection on older societies has to consider a different conditioning. A problem can be posed by representativeness of samples, the information retained
concerns mostly the upper classes. Not all the categories of social mobility can
be accounted for the analysis of the pre-industrial societies. Nevertheless, the basic
questions are still applicable: relating mobility to the theory of social structure,
considering a number of straficational variables, mobility channels, differentiation
between inter and intragenerational mobility. The research on mobility in older
societies allows to learn their structure and dynamics and to introduce new solutions
to the sociological theory of stratification and social mobility.
