Social Mobility and Class Structure in Modern Britain

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.
