Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

Answer

Social mobility refers to how people move up or down the social ladder in society. First, intergenerational mobility is when the social status of a person changes compared to their parents, meaning a child can be better or worse off than their parents. Next, intragenerational mobility is about changes in a person's social status during their own lifetime, like if someone starts as a teacher and later becomes a principal. Upward mobility is when someone moves to a higher social status, while downward mobility is when someone falls to a lower status, such as losing a job. For example, if a child of factory workers becomes a doctor, that’s upward intergenerational mobility, while if a successful business owner loses their business and struggles financially, that’s downward intragenerational mobility.
