SOCIAL MOBILITY
Social mobility is the movement of individuals or groups in social
standing social position, It may refer to classes, ethnic groups,
or entire nations, and may measure health status, literacy, or
education — but more commonly it refers to individuals or families,
and their change in income. It also typically refers to vertical
mobility—movement of individuals or groups up (or down) from one
socio-economic level to another, often by changing jobs or marriage;
but can also refer to horizontal mobility—movement from one position
to another within the same social level.

ECONOMIC MOBILITY
Economic mobility is the ability of an individual, family or some
other group to improve (or lower) their economic status—usually
measured in income. Economic mobility is often measured by movement
between income quintiles. Economic mobility may be considered a type
of social mobility, which is often measured in change in income.
Types
Mobility may be between generations ("inter-generational") or within a
person or groups lifetime ("intra-generational"). It may be "absolute"
or "relative".
Inter-generational mobility compares a person’s (or group's) income to
that of her/his/their parents.
Intra-generational mobility, in contrast, refers to movement up or down
over the course of a working career.
Absolute mobility involves widespread economic growth and answers
the question “To what extent do families improve their incomes over a
generation?”
Relative mobility is specific to individuals or groups and occurs without
relation to the economy as a whole. It answers the question, "how closely
are the economic fortunes of children tied to that of their parents?"
Relative mobility is a zero-sum game, absolute is not.
