What will be an ideal response


Basically, there are three types of social mobility: structural, intergenerational, and exchange mobility.
(1 ) Structural mobility refers to a change in the structure of society that affects the social class of a number of people.
(2 ) Intergenerational mobility is the change that family members make in their social class from one generation to another.
(3 ) Exchange mobility occurs when large numbers of people move upward or downward on the social class ladder, but the result is that the class systems remain basically unchanged because the upward and downward movement of people is more or less balanced out.
