9780198272861: Social Mobility and Class Structure in Modern Britain

Synopsis

This is the second edition of John Goldthorpe's study of social mobility in relation to class structure. The author has updated and extended the original material to include an analysis of recent trends in intergenerational mobility, the class mobility of women, and views of social mobility in modern Britain from a cross-national perspective. The book should be of interest to first-degree students and graduates studying sociology, especially social stratification; professional sociologists interested in quantitative analyses, especially log-linear modelling; and economists and political scientists researching social stratification, mobility, or the sociology of modern Britain.

Revue de presse

In the current edition, the original analyses are left largely intact, but a supplementary section on 'issues of the present day' has now been appended to the end....This section includes chapters on the class mobility of women, the cross-national contours of mobility, and the structure of recent trends in the British stratification system. These chapters are no disappointment; they are as brilliantly argued as the original ones. (American Journal of Sociology)
