In Terms of Educational Mobility, India's Muslims Worse off Than African-Americans

A recent study has found that higher caste groups have experienced constant and high upward mobility over time, a result that contradicts a popular notion that it is increasingly difficult for upper-caste Hindus to get ahead.

New Delhi:
A new study focusing on intergenerational mobility – changes in social status between different generations within the same family – claims India’s Muslims to be the least upwardly mobile group, Indian Express reported. Upward mobility has been measured using children’s education or education rank as a proxy for opportunity, so the upward mobility measures are entirely based on educational outcomes rather than economic ones.

“Our most novel and striking finding is that upward mobility has fallen substantially among Muslims in the last twenty years,” the paper, released this month, claims adding: “Higher caste groups have experienced constant and high upward mobility over time, a result that contradicts a popular notion that it is increasingly difficult for upper-caste Hindus to get ahead.”

Intergenerational mobility captures changes in status across generations and is a useful measure for describing changes in access to opportunity in the long run.

Titled ‘Intergenerational Mobility in India‘, the study by Sam Asher (World Bank), Paul Novosad (Dartmouth College) and Charlie Rafkin (MIT) concludes that while intergenerational mobility for the population as a whole has remained constant since economic liberalisation, there have been substantial cross-group changes.
