Upward social mobility has increasingly gotten difficult for a number of reasons

Upward social mobility has increasingly gotten difficult for a number of reasons. One is the vast financial gap between classes. Because of this, it is harder for younger people to get a higher education. Without the funds to get a higher education, they stay in their social class or lower. In these chapters, the sociologists state that as the years go by the children stay stagnant  and do not precede the class of their parents. Since they do no get the same opportunities of the higher class people, they can not move up the social ladder. Also, in this day and age it is not mainly of what you know but who you know. All this comes with opportunities that come with your parents social class. The middle and working class, do not make the capital that the upper classes do , and they can not get governmental assistance as the lower class. That is another reason why they become stagnant and when they can go to school, they are in debt for the rest of their lives.
