Abstract: Abstract It is thus evident that upward mobility across generations in India is moderate for educational level and significantly low for occupational hierarchy. Though educational level of the second generation is higher than that of their parents, this is not adequately reflected in occupational mobility matrix. People are stuck in their parental occupational class and whatever movement is perceived is more often lateral—from one occupation to another within same broad occupational grade—than vertical.
