Intragenerational Mobility
Captions available
The idea
Intragenerational mobility is the movement a person makes between social positions across their own working life.
In practice
Someone who begins in one occupation and ends in a differently placed one has moved within a generation.
Where people slip
Intragenerational mobility is usually taught as vertical movement across a career; lateral moves at the same rank are horizontal mobility.
