Social Mobility in Europe is the most comprehensive study to date of trends in intergenerational social mobility. It uses data from 11 European countries covering the last 30 years of the twentieth century to analyze differences between countries and changes through time. The findings call into question several long-standing views about social mobility. We find a growing similarity between countries in their class structures and rates of absolute mobility: in other words, the countries of Europe are now more alike in their flows between class origins and destinations than they were thirty year

We work, travel, learn, seek, reflect, take part in dialogues, meet, discuss, and try to create a convivial atmosphere: this is the life story of the Arab Education Forum, and this is also how the story of this book started: from two seminars held three years apart, the idea of this book arose from an evident shortage of literature and knowledge about mobility as a tool for learning, dialogue, and artistic exchange and as a new-old paradigm around the Mediterranean basin. But what kind of knowledge, ideas and visions, do mobility practices generate? How does mobility, and its restrictions, produce and contrast the transformation and alteration of geographies, borders, territories, cities and conflict areas? How do mobility practices contribute to creating new narratives, cultural representations and counter-representations? How could cultural mobility contribute to a responsible and sustainable transformation of society? What are the impacts of mobility? What can be learned through the analysis of the relationship between mobility, art, education, intercultural dialogue, human rights and volunteerism? The present volume covers and reflects on these several crucial issues that shape the contemporary age, and provides some new and fresh perspectives about the challenges of mobility.

Si l'ascenseur social monte, il peut aussi descendre. Et dans les générations nées à partir des années 1960, ils sont de plus en plus nombreux à occuper une position moins élevée que celle de leurs parents, assure le sociologue Camille Peugny. Ces "mobiles descendants" représentent aujourd'hui 25% des 35-39 ans, contre 18% il y a vingt ans. En cause : l'évolution de la structure des emplois qui n'a pas suivi celle des diplômes, marquée par la massification de l'enseignement supérieur. Nombre d'entre eux sont donc victimes d'un double déclassement: scolaire, car ils ont un niveau de formation supérieur à celui requis pour l'emploi qu'ils occupent, et social, car ils n'ont pas maintenu la position de leurs parents, quand bien même ils ont un cursus scolaire plus brillant.
