Preferred term

social reproduction  

Definition

  • Social reproduction refers to the set of processes by which the classes in an unequal society tend to replicate their status from one generation to the next and to the way various social institutions such as education, politics, and the economy tend to ensure such replication. A large body of empirical data indicates that most children replicate the class status of their parents, despite the dominant American ideology of social mobility, whereby education is a means to movement in the class structure.
