This research investigates the connection between socio-economic status (SES) and social mobility in today's educational and social settings. SES, typically assessed through factors like income, education, and occupation, plays a crucial role in determining access to resources, opportunities, and life outcomes. The paper delves into how structural inequalities affect both upward and downward mobility across different generations. Employing a qualitative research approach that utilizes secondary data and thematic analysis, the study compiles existing literature to uncover consistent patterns in educational achievement, occupational mobility, and social stratification. The results emphasize that access to education, policy measures, and family background are key factors influencing mobility paths in societies marked by inequality.
