********Industrialization comes brings increased education level, non-manual job availability, and equality of income.

********

--->The more industrialized a society, the smaller the proportion of the labor force engaged in agriculture. Agricultural work tends to provide a very low income. The increased income that workers make doing non-manual, more specialized work in an industrialized society decreases inequality in that society.

--->The more industrialized a society, the greater the number of different jobs in the occupational structure. This is caused, in part, by the improvement of transportation systems, which broaden the market for products being produced which creates jobs in marketing. Another cause is the simple increase in the volume of production creates a demand for clerical and administrative work. Lastly, the move from a craft based mode of production to factory style production creates an increase in highly specialized jobs that require more intensive training.

--->The more industrialized a society, the higher the ratio of non-manual to manual workers in the nonagricultural labor force. Industrialized societies require more clerical, marketing, and administrative work, and with time move to developing a more service based economies.

--->The more industrialized a society, the higher the proportion of children attending school. The increase in non-manual and specialized jobs creates a demand for literacy and higher levels of education among the labor force of industrialized nations. Education is more frequently provided for free to all children in industrialized societies, and is also more accessible because industrialized societies have less of a demand for child labor than agriculturally based economies.

--->The more industrialized a society, the higher the per capita income and the greater the equality of income. This is most likely the result of the shift away from jobs in agriculture, which traditionally are very low-income. It is also associated with the increase in populations education and non-manual labor.

******Industrialization leads to increased status mobility.******

--->Occupation becomes more of an achieved than ascribed status. There is less of a direct parent to child influence on occupational status in industrialized societies. (The increase in status mobility across generations is called structural mobility.) This occurs for a couple of reasons. First, increased bureaucratization of work makes it harder to jobs to be inherited by children from their parents. Secondly, when education is provided by schools instead of parents or mentors, children have the opportunity to learn job skills that are different from those of their parents.

The influence of education on occupational attainment is greater in industrialized nations. Education becomes more accessible, and with increased job specialization and jobs in the fields of professional, technical, administrative, and clerical jobs, the need for education and more intense job qualifications becomes much greater.

--->Industrialization causes an increase in class mobility. People are more likely to change their socio-economic status within their life. (The increase of status mobility for an individual is called net or exchange mobility.) Education that is more extensive gives children the opportunity to learn the dialects and etiquettes of upper-class people, which are important tools in social advancement. The increased pervasiveness of mass-communications makes exposure to different cultures with in a society greater, so that less learning of different class culture is likely to be needed for an individual to be mobile.

Increased urbanization and geographic mobility should make statuses attainment more based on achievement than ascription. Individuals who move to new locations, or who live in large urban areas have a degree of anonymity not achieved in smaller communities. This means that they must achieve status separate from the influence of their parents status.
