This interesting article takes an analytical look at a concept much-used by politicians — namely, social mobility. Andrew Sayer looks at some of the differences in child-rearing patterns between middle-class and workingclass mothers. He goes on to show how most inequalities in society stem from the nature of the division of labour, and suggests that only when there are fundamental changes to the way in which work is organised and financially rewarded will some of these inequalities disappear. With its emphasis on stratification and inequality, this article is essential reading for all students.
