The Role of Education in Social Mobility: A CrossCultural Study

Abstract

This article explores the role of education in promoting social mobility across different cultural contexts, analyzing both theoretical and empirical research. It examines how education serves as a pathway for individuals to improve their socioeconomic status, and how factors such as access to quality education, cultural attitudes, and governmental policies influence educational outcomes. By comparing data from various countries, this study highlights the disparities in educational access and its effect on social mobility, providing insights into policy implications that could mitigate educational inequality and enhance upward mobility.
