Migration of the Rural Youth (with a special accent on the social mobility of migrants)
Maria Oliveira-Roca
Sažetak
The basic thesis of this article, that
migration into the city contributes to the
greater social mobility of the rural youth,
has only partly been confirmed. It holds
true in the case of intergenerational more
than intragenerational mobility. In both
kinds of social mobility migrants who
continued their education when they came
to the city has greater possibilities for a
higher place on the social ladder than
those who began to work immediately.
Therefore, migration because of education
has proved to be a stronger factor of
vertical mobility than migration because of
employment in the city. Regardless of the
reasons for migration, migrants who came
to the city in earlier periods achieved a
higher degree of intergenerational and
intragenerational mobility than those who
came later.
Urban and rural areas are becoming more
and more homogenized. The city is
increasingly becoming a place for the life
and work of the middle and higher social
strata, and rural settlements are no longer
only the places of work and life for
peasants, but also the places of life (and
rarely work) for the lowest social strata.
What is more, migration from the village
into the town is not, as it was earlier, such
a strong channel of social promotion.
