Summary, etc. STATUS INEQUALITIES have attracted the attention of thinkers of varied orientations in different ages. Empirical Quantitative analysis of the process through which individuals are located or locate themselves in these unequal roles is only a recent devlopment.<br/><br/>The author, after a critical review and analysis of the relevant literature, calls this development a 'breakthrough'. Following this 'paradigm' of research, he examined the patterns and determinants of occupational mobility in Rural India in the present monograph. Quantitative description of the process of stratification in rural India-a developing society-is compared with a similar process in the Rural United States. The results of his comparison indicate that despite numerous claims about the increasing importance of formal education it has not yet become relevant for Rural India's occupational hierarchy whereas educational attainment remains the major route to occupational recruitment in the rural United States. In India, Father's occupation continued to influnce the placement of Son's in the occupational hierarchy. This pattern is visible both in strong intergenerational occupational inheritance as also in interagenerational 'return mobility,' where sons who in early years join occupations different than their fathers return to the occupations of their fathers in later years of their life cycle. The effects of jati-rank (caste status) and father's land ownership failed to show substantial net effects on current occupation of respondents,<br/><br/>The book may be a useful text in various courses on social stratification and social mobility, social structre of India, rural sociology comparative societies etc.
