Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Libby is examining how her career has progressed within her own generation, which is an example of intragenerational mobility. She is comparing her current job to the one she had when she started, rather than comparing her job to that of her parents or children (intergenerational mobility) or moving between jobs at the same level (horizontal mobility). There is no mention of cyclical mobility in this scenario.
