Social Mobility and Social Participation

Abstract

This article examines the charts and tables contained in chapter 11 of Social Indicators, 1976 covering a wide range of social behavior under the general topic "Social Mobility and Social Participation." The topics covered include educational and occupational mobility, voting in national elections, volunteer work, charitable giving, participation in community organizations, views on religion, and feelings of anomie. Most readers will agree that this is a potpourri of topics but that all have bearing on the well-being of citizens. There would be less agreement on the significance of most of the indicators for public policy. The factual conclusions that can be drawn from the tables and charts are discussed and additional information from recent research on some of the topics is presented—particu— larly on educational and occupational mobility, voting and political behavior, and participation in community organizations.
