Download or read book Occupational Prestige in Comparative Perspective written by Donald J. Treiman and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occupational Prestige in Comparative Perspective provides information pertinent to the study of the nature of inequality in human society. This book discusses that stratification is inevitable in complex societies as they are characterized by a highly developed division of labor into distinct occupational roles. Organized into five parts encompassing 10 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the nature of occupational prestige systems that is rooted in power relations. This text then examines the extent of intrasocial variation in occupational prestige evaluations. Other chapters consider the contrast between the consensus that characterizes occupational prestige evaluations and the lack of consensus that characterizes the evaluation of other social categories. This book discusses as well the basic pattern of occupational evaluations and the worldwide uniformity in occupational evaluations. The final chapter deals with the development of the occupational scale and discusses it potential uses. This book is a valuable resource for sociologists.

Book The Process of Stratification

Download or read book The Process of Stratification written by Robert M. Hauser and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Process of Stratification: Trends and Analyses discusses the conceptual scheme developed by Blau and Duncan. The book elaborates Blau and Duncan's description and analysis of socioencomic inequality, stratification, and inequality of opportunity in American society during the early 1960s. The authors review the assumptions and methods; they point to a different direction from the widely held assumption that occupational socioeconomic status is the primary determinant to mobility. They also use the Alphabetical Index as the basis for better collection method on data relating to occupation, industry and class of worker. As regards occupational mobility, the authors note that such mobility is limited by the depletion of occupational groups that higher-status occupations have sourced from. They also point that American society is homogenous in the sense of the determinants of socioeconomic achievements can exert influence. The authors then discuss an exercise in theory construction of intergenerational transmission of income. They conclude that income mobility is similar to occupational or educational mobility; to be more precise, they note that empirical evidence should be gathered. This book can prove useful for economists, sociologists, policy makers, as well as academicians involved in societal studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power and Privilege seeks to answer the central question of the field of social stratification: Who gets what and why? Using a dialectical view of the development of thought in the discipline, Gerhard Lenski describes the outlines of an emerging synthesis of theories.

Book The Credential Society

Download or read book The Credential Society written by Randall Collins and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Credential Society is a classic on the role of higher education in American society and an essential text for understanding the reproduction of inequality. Controversial at the time, Randall Collins’s claim that the expansion of American education has not increased social mobility, but rather created a cycle of credential inflation, has proven remarkably prescient. Collins shows how credential inflation stymies mass education’s promises of upward mobility. An unacknowledged spiral of the rising production of credentials and job requirements was brought about by the expansion of high school and then undergraduate education, with consequences including grade inflation, rising educational costs, and misleading job promises dangled by for-profit schools. Collins examines medicine, law, and engineering to show the ways in which credentialing closed these high-status professions to new arrivals. In an era marked by the devaluation of high school diplomas, outcry about the value of expensive undergraduate degrees, and the proliferation of new professional degrees like the MBA, The Credential Society has more than stood the test of time. In a new preface, Collins discusses recent developments, debunks claims that credentialization is driven by technological change, and points to alternative pathways for the future of education.

Book Social Status and Prestige in the Graeco Roman World

Download or read book Social Status and Prestige in the Graeco Roman World written by Annika Kuhn and published by Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GmbH. This book was released on 2015 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social status and the prestige associated with it played a crucial role in Graeco-Roman society, constituting the basis for social stratification and shaping a complex web of social, political, economic and cultural relations. The sixteen papers assembled in this volume take a fresh look at the study of social status and prestige in antiquity and discuss a variety of key aspects and issues of the topic, including the formation and legal definition of status categories and hierarchies, the dynamic interrelationship between status and prestige, manifestations of status dissonance and social nonconformity, the role of prestige as a resource of political power, and the representation and display of status through the media of honorific inscriptions, funerary monuments, status symbols and prestige goods. The volume covers a broad geographical and chronological scope which stretches from Roman Italy to the Greek East over the period from the early principate to late antiquity.
