In many studies, the population is divided into a number of social status groups 1 or into socioeconomic groups 1 according to occupation, income, education or similar indices of economic status. The term social class 2 has a sociological connotation which is only approximated by the type of grouping generally used in demographic work. The division of society into a number of such groups is called social stratification 3. Movement between different social status groups is called social mobility 4; a distinction is made between upward mobility 5 and downward mobility 6 in the social hierarchy. The mobility of children with respect to their parents’ social class is called inter-generational social mobility 7.

  • 3. A caste is a closed social group in which social status and position in the social hierarchy are ascribed.
  • 7. Social mobility by an individual in his or her own lifetime is called intra-generational social mobility.

921

Labor mobility 1 is the general term that covers not only an individual’s changes of occupation 2 under the name of occupational mobility 3 but also job mobility 4, or changes of employer, and industrial mobility 5, or changes of industry.

922

Interest in the problems of aged persons (324-8) and aging (326-3) has given rise to a special branch of studies called gerontology 1 including the special branch of medicine called geriatrics 2.

  • 1. Gerontology, n. - gerontological, adj. - gerontologist, n.: a specialist in gerontology.
  • 2. Geriatrics, n, - geriatric, adj. - geriatrician, n.: a specialist in geriatrics.
