CONT

In other words, this form of inequality is taken to be a prime cause of social and professional immobility as between one generation and the next.

CONT

Désigne une situation où la mobilité sociale est faible. La probabilité de ne pas changer de catégorie sociale par rapport à celle occupée par son père est alors forte. Cette hérédité sociale ne se traduit pas forcément par une similarité des professions exercées.
