Discuss research on women in studies of social mobility

What will be an ideal response?


Research has historically not focused on women in studies of social mobility.Much research has focused on fathers, sons, husbands.Research seemed to ascribe the social class position of the husband to the wife.Now that white-collar jobs and the professions have opened up to women, studies of social mobility in women have begun.But research in this area is in its infancy.This will be a fruitful area of research in coming years.
