The paper tries to give a more sophisticated picture about the changing social stratification, using the dynamic view of social reproduction processes. The study deals with the question how the labor- market mobility and changing of the household structure have an effect on some characteristics of the living conditions, first of all on the income position and on the objective and subjective deprivation. According to the hypothesis of the study, one can get more detailed information of the formation of living conditions by dynamic mirroring of the social-demographic position. The analysis is based on the Census 2001 and the Income and Living Conditions Survey 2005, which were linked on micro level. Using the database one can observe the changes for more than a four-year period. The social-demographic position and those of mobility categories mirroring their changes showed - more or less - a hierarchical structure: the more advantageous the activity-changes on personal or household level were, so were the characteristics of the living conditions.
