Describe the relationship between education and mobility
What will be an ideal response?
Education is the primary route to individual success and upward mobility. Displaced workers are urged to move into other careers through special retaining programs or by returning to school. The benefits of education, however, are related to class position. Those of higher rank gain more benefit with less education because of their social and business networks. In addition, children from working- and lower-class homes are less likely to achieve educationally because they lack the in-home models and pressures to do so.
