TL;DR: The assumption that in contemporary society vertical mobility depends upon formal education is tested with data from England, Sweden, and the United States as discussed by the authors, and the upwardly mobile group is found to comprise mainly persons of typical, not superior, schooling, though among the few individuals with superior training there is relatively high probability of upward mobility.
Abstract: The assumption that in contemporary society vertical mobility depends upon formal education is tested with data from England, Sweden, and the United States. The upwardly mobile group is found to comprise mainly persons of typical, not superior, schooling, though among the few individuals with superior training there is relatively high probability of upward mobility. Detailed data for England reveal that recruits to each stratum outnumber inheritors. A large fraction of the new upper stratum is of lower origin and median schooling. At the same time, a considerable fraction of even the better-educated sons of upper-class fathers drop down the occupational status scale. Circumstances other than schooling play a major part in mobility.

TL;DR: This article analyzed English, French, and Swedish mobility tables from the early 1970s that were previously analyzed by Enkson, Gold thorpe & Portocarero and by Hope and found that the vertical dimension of mobility is stronger and more autonomous than one would conclude from earlier analyses.
Abstract: This paper presents new findings about English, French, and Swedish mobility tables from the early 1970s that were previously analyzed by Enkson, Gold thorpe & Portocarero and by Hope The former analysis focused on nonvertical aspects of mobility, while the latter gave priority to vertical mobility The reanalysis shows that the vertical dimension of mobility is stronger and more autonomous than one would conclude from earlier analyses At the same time, it is necessary to introduce several parameters for class inheritance in order to fit the data, and these parameters account for more of the association between class origins and destinations than does the vertical aspect of class mobility Educational attainment accounts for part of the vertical aspect of mobility, but income and occupational prestige do not help to explain it The new models provide direct evidence of a gradient in immobility across the three nations The present findings suggest complementarities between vertical and nonvertical models

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors used diagonal reference modeling and other regression methods to assess the effects of social mobility on subjective well-being in mainland China, and found that wellbeing was associated with changes in class positions.

TL;DR: The vertical mobility of ten upper central incisors was studied in five subjects; the direction and point of application of the thrust was constant for each tooth; force was applied manually via a dynamometer to ensure repeatable load/ mobility curves.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the relationship between participation in ISM at the Bachelor and Master level and graduates' wages and the duration of education-to-work transitions, and investigate variations in the labour market outcomes according to the type of mobility: study, internships or combinations of both.
Abstract: Over the last decades, there has been increasing interest in the topic of international student mobility (ISM). However, there is surprisingly little analysis of the ways in which different characteristics and types of short-term ISM or the importance of host education systems and labour markets may affect early career outcomes of formerly mobile graduates. Therefore, in this study we explore, first, the relationship between participation in ISM at the Bachelor and Master level and graduates’ wages and the duration of education-to-work transitions. Second, we investigate variations in ISM’s labour market outcomes according to the type of mobility: study, internships, or combinations of both. Third, we examine the relationship between labour market outcomes of formerly mobile students and the country of destination’s position in higher education international prestige hierarchies and labour market competitiveness. We use the Dutch National Alumni Survey 2015, a representative survey of higher education graduates in the Netherlands, conducted 1.5 years after graduation. Before controlling for selection into ISM, the results suggest the existence of labour market returns to ISM and that the heterogeneity of ISM experiences matters, as labour market outcomes vary according to the level of study, the type of mobility and the positioning of the country of destination in international prestige hierarchies. However, after controlling for selection into ISM through propensity score matching, the differences in early career outcomes between formerly mobile and non-mobile graduates disappear, suggesting that they cannot be causally attributed to their ISM-experience. We explain these results with reference to the characteristics of the Dutch education system and labour market, where restricted possibilities for upward vertical mobility limit returns to ISM in the local labour market.
