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.
