This paper sets changes in Britain’s class structure since 1945 alongside the parallel sociological controversies about class. Since the 1970s, the class scheme developed by John Goldthorpe and colleagues for initial use in their study of social mobility in Britain has become sociology’s standard template for thinking about and researching class. Versions have been adopted by the UK government and the European Union as their official socio-economic classifications. This paper does not dispute that the Goldthorpe scheme is still the best available for classifying by occupation, or that occupation remains our best single indicator of class, or that a constant class scheme must be used if the purpose is to measure trends over time in rates of relative inter-generational mobility. Despite these merits, it is argued that the sociological gaze has been weakened by failing to represent changes over time in the class structure itself and, therefore, how class is experienced in lay people’s lives. There has been a relative neglect of absolute social mobility flows (which have changed over time), and a pre-occupation with the inter-generational and a relative neglect of intra-career mobilities and immobilities.

失调:自1945年以来的英国阶级和英国社会学阶级

本文提出了自1945年以来英国阶级结构的变化,以及关于阶级的平行社会学争论。自1970年代以来,约翰·戈德索普(John Goldthorpe)及其同事开发的,最初用于英国社会流动研究的班级计划已成为社会学思考和研究班级的标准模板。版本已被英国政府和欧盟采用为官方的社会经济分类。本文不怀疑Goldthorpe方案仍然是按职业进行分类的最佳方案,或者职业仍然是我们最好的阶级指标,或者如果目的是衡量费率随时间的趋势,则必须使用恒定阶级方案相对代际流动性 尽管有这些优点,有人认为,由于未能代表阶级结构本身随时间的变化,因此社会视线受到削弱,因此,阶级如何在外行人的生活中经历。相对忽视了绝对的社会流动性(随着时间的推移而发生了变化),并且代代相传,而职业生涯内部的动员和不动产则相对被忽视。
