abstract: '`Social Stratification, Past, Present, and Future'' celebrates the 50th

  anniversary of the annual Cambridge Social Stratification Seminar. This

  editorial presents a brief characterisation of the `Cambridge school''

  approach that has featured prominently through the seminar''s lifetime.

  Then it discusses the domains and topics explored in this issue -

  education; intergenerational transmission of inequality; family, work

  and employment; occupations; migration for work; housing, and political

  preferences. While most of the papers focus on Great Britain, several

  papers involve international comparisons, one focuses on stratification

  in India, and another on China. Collectively, researchers reveal how

  social hierarchy influences people''s lives, and reproduces fairly stably

  over time. The papers also contribute to understanding the sometimes

  counter-intuitive outcomes that challenge those charged with policy

  development.'
