damaged upward mobility) from social inequality and social mobility perspectives

Answer 1

Social stratification is the structural form of social inequality means that the ways in which a society is stratified tell us about the society's culture and values-- this is because social stratification take into account power, influence, and other resources that the specific society deem valuable in their own context.

The social elevator, which allows new generations to be better off than their parents and grandparents through economic and social forces, is gradual and frequently stops. People from poorer socioeconomic backgrounds suffered more during the crisis, while receiving equivalent training. If your parents worked as manual laborers, you have a 50% probability of doing the same. Millions of Spaniards in the working class appear to be doomed from birth to work in precarious, low-paying jobs with less social benefits. This system stifles prosperity, economic growth, and production, while squandering talent. We are not only paying too much for the work of a privileged few in a low-mobility economy, but we are also attempting to succeed with low-skilled employees.

The elimination of inequality among society's poorest levels has slowed dramatically in Spain. Unskilled employees now have fewer working days and lower pay, which has an impact on their children's schooling. Children's care and training between the ages of zero and five years determine whether they will be able to obtain a decent career with a good wage in the future. There are many consequences of inactivity, and women are among the most affected, but if I had to pick one, it would be the incapacity of intelligent people to flourish in the formal sector. Many of them are compelled to work in occupations that do not match their abilities or are forced to go abroad.
