abstract
The book Social Mobility in Algeria, supervised by sociologist Omar Derras with contributions from Mohamed Madoui, Zineddine Zemour, and Bouzidi El Houari, examines transformations in Algerian society since independence. It analyzes mechanisms of social mobility, highlighting the role of education, work, and economic policies in shaping trajectories. The study underscores the rise of middle classes through industrialization, urban expansion, and schooling, while noting the decline of upward mobility since the 1990s due to unemployment and widening inequalities.
