| Abstract | The article "Rags to Riches? Intergenerational Occupational Mobility in India" (EPW, 4 November 2017) by Iversen, Krishna and Sen examines intergenerational occupational mobility in India. This comment links this study with Krishna's earlier contribution, "Making It in India: Examining Social Mobility in Three Walks of Life" (EPW, 7 December 2013), and interprets these works alongside Bourdieu's (1986) and Merton's (1949) established theories of social mobility. |

| AbstractList | Intergenerational Occupational Mobility in India" (EPW, 4 November 2017), Vegard Iversen, Anirudh Krishna and Kunal Sen have examined the process of intergenerational occupational mobility in India through the analysis of data from a large-scale survey called the India Human Development Survey (IDHS)-II, conducted in 2011-12 by the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER). [...]locating the overall findings of both the articles under discussion within the above theoretical frameworks, one can argue that the lack of cultural capital, in all its forms, in the cases of the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs), as well as rural residents, restricts their upward intergenerational social mobility, and instead paves the way for downward social mobility in the competitive market situation (Iversen et al 2017). Sometimes, even established family tradition in terms of occupation across generations helps children in pursuing such career goals. [...]access to adequate cultural capital enables the reproduction of intergenerational social mobility. [...]those individuals without any or with very little access to any kind of cultural capital depend upon the non-membership reference groups for inspiration and motivation while identifying role models, and undergo the painful process of anticipatory socialisation.1 Thus, the lack of achievement on the part of the past generations results in a failure to engender a better environment, and limits the potential of the future generations, thereby perpetuating disadvantages in the process of achieving upward social mobility in terms of profession. The article "Rags to Riches? Intergenerational Occupational Mobility in India" (EPW, 4 November 2017) by Iversen, Krishna and Sen examines intergenerational occupational mobility in India. This comment links this study with Krishna's earlier contribution, "Making It in India: Examining Social Mobility in Three Walks of Life" (EPW, 7 December 2013), and interprets these works alongside Bourdieu's (1986) and Merton's (1949) established theories of social mobility. |
