Social mobility refers to the movement of individuals or groups from one social position to another within a system of social stratification. The measurement of social mobility is the process of assessing the extent, direction, and pattern of these movements.

It provides empirical evidence about the openness or rigidity of a social system.

These indicators help determine whether an individual has experienced upward mobility, downward mobility, horizontal mobility, or no mobility. Sociologists distinguish between intergenerational mobility, which compares the social position of children with that of their parents, and intragenerational mobility, which measures changes in an individual's status during their lifetime. One of the principal methods of measuring social mobility is the occupational mobility method. Occupation is widely regarded as a reliable indicator of social status because it reflects income, education, authority, and prestige. Researchers compare the occupations of parents and their children or examine occupational changes during an individual's career. Occupational classification systems categorize jobs into different status groups, making comparisons possible. This method has been extensively used due to the availability of occupational data and its close relationship with social class. Another important method is the prestige scale method. Different occupations are assigned prestige scores based on public perception and social value. These scores help researchers
