Movers and Stayers: Social Mobility, Migration and Skills

by Izabela Grabowska

The author examines social mobility in the enlarged EU by analysing the work sequences of 1865 movers and stayers in Poland. Using indicators of upward and downward social mobility, she explores the role of migration in occupational careers and reveals agency and reflexivity as drivers of non-financial sense-making of migration.
