Vertical social mobility refers to moving up or down the social hierarchy. When a person rises from a lower to a higher social position, it is called ascending or upward mobility. When someone moves from a higher to a lower position, it is descending or downward mobility. Occupational mobility is simply a form of vertical mobility, depending on whether the new occupation brings higher or lower status. International mobility mainly involves shifting locations across countries and does not automatically change social status. The term “party mobility” is not recognized in sociology as a type of social mobility.
