“…Es prudente cambiar el enfoque social que impera en la agenda pública, desde una política asistencialista que poco contribuye a la movilidad social hacia el desarrollo de estrategias de desarrollo productivo, social y de mercado. La cual debe albergar acciones como garantizar una educación pertinente con calidad; promover la innovación y emprendimiento; fomentar la infraestructura logística para generar competitividad; protección de la biodiversidad; entre otras medidas que den cuenta de la interacción entre factores económicos, sociales y ambientales que brindarán un escenario de desarrollo sostenible (Castro, 2011).…”

The article presents the study on intragenerational social mobility, as a phenomenon that draws the quality of life, in the transition from one socioeconomic position to another and that offers an overview of understanding of poverty, condition to reduce inequality gaps. As an objective, it is proposed to investigate the relationship between factors such as work activity, academic training and economic income, as indicators of intragenerational social mobility. A correlational study was carried out in 2019, in Pichinde, corregimiento of the District of Santiago de Cali, Department of Valle del Cauca, Colombia; with a representative sample of 89 families. A linear regression model was applied between the variables that, based on the Pearson coefficient (R), coefficient of determination (R square) and the Durvin-Watson test, allow to verify independence from error. The results show the non-correlation between the different study variables, concluding that poverty conditions underlie multiple factors and where intra-generational social mobility is influenced by variables not associated with the relationship between work activity, academic training and economic income.

“…In developed countries with a few in developing countries that are mostly based in Latin America [ 15 , 17 ]. A study in Chile point out that upward mobility was enhanced by a change from unemployment to employment, higher education, urban residence, being married and female headship but it was inversely influenced by male headship and the number of children [ 17 ]. The same factors (apart from gender and marital status) influenced downward 40 mobility except they switched signs.…”

Welfare dynamics studies are useful in understanding how individuals, families, society, and a country are organised. For the last two decades, Ethiopia’s economic reports on income disparity, poverty, and other welfare metrics have been hopeful and controversial. It is crucial to understand how rural households of various income levels perform over time and income mobility. Income mobility can be observed as a change in position over time between two income vectors, with some climbing and others sliding down and changing places at various rates. This study, therefore, explored the rural households’ income mobility in Ethiopia using three waves of the Living Standards Measurement Study-Integrated Survey on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA) collected from 2011 to 2016. The Shorrocks rigidity index, transition probability matrix, Fields, and Ok methods were employed to analyse the relative and absolute income mobility. The logit model with conditional fixed effect was used to assess the drivers of individual households’ income mobility and the multinomial logit model with conditional fixed effect as an alternative model. Based on the finding of this study, it is suggested to implement different policies targeting income growth to shorten mobility gaps and address factors contributing to downward income mobility in rural households in Ethiopia are necessary.

Patterns and Drivers of Household Income Dynamics in Russia: The Role of Access to Credit

The microeconomic drivers of medium-and short-term income mobility in Russia over the period 1996-2016 are investigated using data from the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS).Focusing on the role of access to credit in triggering household income growth, the descriptive analysis suggests that high levels of mobility materialising in pro-poor patterns of growth may accompany Russia's notoriously high levels of inequality. Controlling for other personal and household characteristics, the econometric model for drivers of income mobility indicates that access to credit boosts income mobility. Complementary empirical evidence suggests that this effect may unfold through channels related to the labour market and non-labour sources of income.
