TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that there is a wide range of vertical mobility among Farsi women during this period and the most important barriers to social mobility are the traditions and cultures of society, as well as the bureaucratic structure of government.
Abstract: Social mobility is one of the social science concepts to measure the degree of development and progress of a country. Some factors of social mobility such as education, job promotion, marriage, migration, etc., demonstrate the dynamics of society and the equality of status of people in the use of opportunities to obtain social benefits. The most important barriers to social mobility are the traditions and cultures of society, as well as the bureaucratic structure of government. This article seeks to show social mobility among Farsi women in the period 1921-1953. The study findings confirm that there is a wide range of vertical mobility among Farsi women during this period. The information in this study was based on libraries and documentary sources. And the method is historical research with a descriptive-analytical approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the students' profiles to identify the industry distribution and, at the same time, to measure the extent to which the skilled labour (graduates) have moved between different job positions and/or companies, be it as a horizontal mobility (does not result in a change in the worker's grading or status) or a vertical mobility (if it does).
Abstract: Asset Management as a growing discipline is being incorporated into the Chilean Industry, especially into the mining Industry; however, there is a need to provide the necessary skills and knowledge regarding these new positions. In that regard, since 2005 we have successfully incorporated a master’s program scheme entitled Master of Asset Management (MGA, currently in its 9th offering). Up to date, more than 300 postgraduate students from different industries have attended this MGA, becoming the leading program in Latin America. In the training field we have developed a Diploma on Asset Management (DGA—140 h). With the present study, we have analysed the students’ profiles to identify the industry distribution and, at the same time, to measure the extent to which the skilled labour (graduates) have moved between different job positions and/or companies, be it as a horizontal mobility (does not result in a change in the worker’s grading or status) or a vertical mobility (if it does). Additionally, we regularly test the influence of the market-value and scholastic and social dimensions of the human capital on the alumni. The scope is mainly the Chilean industry.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out a study on the impact that vertical urban mobility infrastructures have on the daily life of older people living in slum neighborhoods and found that the overwhelming majority find these structures convenient and easily accessible, however, 79,8% changed or improved something in this structures.
Abstract: The main objective was to carry out a study on the impact that vertical urban mobility infrastructures have on the daily life of older people living in slum neighborhoods. Data collection took place in April and May 2019, in the city of Covilha, where there are accentuated topographic gaps and where there are four vertical urban mobility structures. The sample includes 109 subjects aged 65 and over, who answered a questionnaire prepared by the project’s researchers. The average age is 73,50 years, 53,2% has the 1st cycle education, 68,8% lives with their spouse or partner, 71,6% indicates that they have no mobility difficulties and 54,1% consider their health status to be “Normal” or “Good” (23,9%). 78% of respondents have lived in the current home / neighborhood for over 10 years, 11,9% have always lived in the same home / neighborhood and 90,8% said they would like to continue living in the same house / neighborhood. 53,2% use “Very” urban vertical mobility structures, and 64,8% use them at least three times a week. The overwhelming majority find these structures convenient and easily accessible, however, 79,8% changed or improved something in this structures. Still, 60,5% consider these structures “Good” or “Very Good”. Most respondents reveal that the use of vertical urban mobility structures allowed them to increase the frequency with which they use the public space, visit people or access services, contributing to improving their mobility, quality of life and social participation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship of income inequality, growth and employment is investigated in the context of the economic incentive system of an economy and can lead to higher unemployment, and the authors elaborates the point that equity orientation affects the incentive system and can cause higher unemployment.
Abstract: Rising income inequality is an anglo Saxon problem. For most of the other OECD countries, earnings dispersion is rather persistent. Vertical mobility is to be taken into account. The paper also looks at the relationship of income inequality, growth and employment. It elaborates the point that equity orientation affects the incentive system of an economy and can lead to higher unemployment.
TL;DR: In this article, a model of mobility in an organization such as promotion or lateral transfer is constructed, and the authors distinguish two types of mobility: relational mobility and compulsive mobility, i.e., mobility caused by scrap-and-build of jobs with the introduction of new technology or to save labor cost.
Abstract: This paper aims to construct a model of mobility in organization such as promotion or lateral transfer. We distinguish two types of mobility. One is “relational mobility” : mobility along “mobility cluster”. Internal labor market theory of Doeringer and Piore is the theory of this type mobility. The other is “compulsive mobility” : mobility caused by scrap-and-build of jobs with the introduction of new technology or to save labor cost. Labor economists in Japan suggest that this type of mobility is one of distinct features of Japanese Labor-Management relations.To measure these two types of mobility, we re-examine the studies of mobility on the level of total society. Especially, we take notice of Yasuda's argument about compulsive mobility and pure mobility. We will show that “mobility table” analysis is not adequate to analyse mobility in organizations by three reasons : (1) ambiguity of times to be compared; (2) closed-system assumption; (3) confusion of moves and movers. Then, we propose open system “mobility accumulation table” analysis, which allowes people to enter and/or leave the organization in question. The frequency of moves from strutum i to strutum j is written in the (i, j) cells. From this table, we measure compulsive mobility to compare marginals of rows and columns, and measure relational mobility to standardize marginals. These two and the method of mostellerzing enable us to build a model to predict mobility in organizations. This model is applicable to the system where vacancies and superfluous members take place at the same time, which vacancy-chains model is not applicable to.
