This video focuses on the impact of social mobility; it is the 26th episode of the sociology course. In this lesson, we're exploring social mobility in some more depth. We'll look at intergenerational and intragenerational mobility and the difference between absolute and relative mobility. We'll go over the long run upward social mobility trends in the United States, as well as recent declines in absolute social mobility. We'll also explore how opportunities for social mobility differ by class, race, and gender. [9:01]
