Book Review: Social Mobility by Anthony Heath and Yaojun Li

Social mobility, which is the study of how individuals or families move between different socioeconomic positions in society over time, is one of the oldest topics in sociology. In Social Mobility, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Oxford University Anthony Heath and Professor of Sociology at Manchester University Yaojun Li offer an impressive and well-written overview for students and others seeking a thorough introduction to the most influential theories and findings that nearly 100 years of empirical research have brought to light.
