The Social Mobility Working Group seeks to identify mechanisms that are driving (or slowing) social mobility and to track their connections with levels of well-being, state types, national policies, structural inequalities, and other societal features (including networks, norms, and practices).
Objectives
- Develop a network of scholars across disciplines, bringing different perspectives to the study of social mobility
- Jointly review existing studies from different parts of the world and diverse methodologies and disciplinary approaches
- Identify important gaps and potential opportunities for pushing this research frontier
- Work toward the formation of collaborative research groups, as well as design and undertake research projects in different parts of the world
