Abstract: In this study, we make use of empirically observed occupational stratification patterns, in order to identify the relationship between education and social mobility of individuals - the latter is approximated by the social distance of an individual's occupation from his/her household's traditional niche occupation. Our study draws upon a novel occupational network construction proposed in Lambert et.al (2018), with slight adjustments, to empirically identify social stratification patterns using cross sectional household surveys available in the Indian context. We use IHDS-2 data-set for the purpose of our study.
