contest versus sponsored mobility
Definition
- The conceptual framework of “sponsored” versus “contest” mobility was introduced in 1960 by American sociologist Ralph H. Turner to analyze normative patterns of upward mobility in different societies. He sought to illuminate how a society allocates elite status to its ambitious members and to specify the role of the school system in this process.
