In sociology, the concept of social mobility refers to the movements of individuals between stratified social classes. Social mobility can be "downward," meaning it puts the individual in a less-privileged social class, or "upward," meaning the individual gains socio-economic status. This status consists of multiple advantages. Those who are upwardly socially mobile have acquired more material assets, social capital or resources due to networking, and education that they had previously. Downwardly socially mobile people lose access to these privileges.
While "education social mobility" is not an existing sociological phrase, it may refer to how social mobility is impacted by education. Individuals from low-income families who attain college degrees have a higher chance of being upwardly mobile to a higher social class than those who do not attend college. Sociological data analyses have shown that the more years of education an individual attains, the more likely they are to be upwardly socially mobile. The amount of education an individual attains may have a significant impact on their social mobility.
