The author is interested in how individuals perceive, explain and assess their social position and trajectory, and thereby how dynamics of social structure is intertwined with personal experience. She discusses social mobility in terms of objective measures and categories, with particular focus on comparison between respondents’ social status and their fathers’ status, and thereafter compares it with subjective perception of upward or downward social mobility. The analysis is based on three waves of POLPAN survey (1988, 2013, 2018), an academic research project conducted by the Polish Academy of Sciences.
