Socially disadvantaged groups in India face declining multigenerational mobility trends.
The study looked at how education and job status are passed down through three generations in India. They found that education mobility has increased over time, but job mobility has not. Socially disadvantaged groups are falling behind in progress, with Muslims showing less mobility than Hindus. However, other disadvantaged groups like Scheduled Castes have seen more educational mobility compared to General Castes. Overall, there has been an increase in educational mobility for some groups, but not in job mobility over the three generations.
