Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Structural mobility refers to changes in the social position of large numbers of people due to structural changes in society, such as the relocation of factories from one country to another. In this case, the movement of factories from the United States to Mexico is causing major job losses, resulting in downward mobility for those who are losing their jobs. Individual merit, exchange mobility, and status attainment are not applicable in this situation.
