Abstract: Abstract The first step in coming to terms with occupational mobility is to set these movements in a historical and social framework. On the one hand, this involves a concern with the unique situation of Scotland, while on the other, the theories of society already discussed suggest key processes requiring attention as typifying capitalist or industrial society. For example, much of Scotland’s particular development can be attributed to her patterns of capital accumulation and transfer, and ownership of production, together with the introduction of new technologies and changes in the public administration of the country. How do these affect mobility?
