Educational Inequality and Social Mobility: Perspectives from Social Science Research

Abstract

Educational Inequality and Social Mobility: Perspectives from Social Science Research" offers a comprehensive examination of the complex interplay between education, inequality, and social mobility. Drawing from a diverse array of social science research, this paper explores the mechanisms through which educational disparities perpetuate and exacerbate social stratification. It delves into the structural, cultural, and economic factors that contribute to unequal access to quality education and hinder upward mobility for marginalized groups. Furthermore, the paper discusses the implications of educational inequality for individual opportunities, social cohesion, and economic development. By synthesizing key findings from sociological, economic, and educational studies, this paper provides valuable insights into the challenges and potential solutions for addressing educational inequality and promoting greater social mobility in contemporary societies.
