Social mobility in Russia - a change in the status of an individual or an entire social group.The author of this system known as P. Sorokin, who was able to introduce her to the science of sociology in 1927.
factors of social mobility - is, first, growing personality.For example, a child, a priori, eventually change their status, leaving the responsibilities and rights that belong to him as an immature individual.In the same way, and an elderly man, leaving the limits of age restrictions, changes the status of workers per pensioner.
Secondly, it should be noted upward mobility, taking place as a result of social stratification.This change in status can occur both in the ascending and descending trajectory.
factors of social mobility of this kind are as follows: increasing the level of education of the individual (eg, a diploma), change jobs due to the accumulation of experience (for example, obtaining a higher professional category, military rank), job loss or demotion (for example, due to violations of labor or in connection with violations of the law by administrative authorities of the enterprise - the dismissal due to pregnancy or disability), getting into "places not so remote," disability.
called horizontal mobility shift social status of an individual within the same social status (change of residence, religion, work in the same status, etc.).
discussing the process of social mobility, it should be noted that the movement of an individual in a society has a certain conditioning.Chaotic mobility takes place only when the unstable social structure, in connection with the turning point of the historical moment or economic crisis.When the stable social structure change in the status of an individual can only occur with the approval of the social environment on certain channels.
Broadly channels social mobility - a social structures, methods and mechanisms used by an individual to be able to move from one state to another public.
That is education, in which a citizen can get the education that the right to occupy a higher position - it's the channels of social mobility.They also include political parties and authorities politvlasti, economic structures and public organizations, the army and the church, family and clan ties and professional and labor unions.
should also be noted that the structure of organized crime - is also a channel for social mobility, since they have their own internal system of mobility and also often have a fairly significant impact on 'official' channels.
Given the fact that the channels of social mobility operate as an integrated social system, we can say that its structure consists of many institutionally-legal procedures, which may allow or not the individual move.
Among these can be called the examination boards, the guardianship, administration areas, housing committee, the military enlistment office, the court and others.If desired person to climb the vertical status ladder, it must go through certain "testing", which will show whether the individual is new, I wish them the status.
For example, to improve housing conditions should be present in the housing commission the necessary documents in the preparation of the diploma - to be trained and pass exams, when applying for a job - pass an interview.
