This study is based on my PhD thesis that I wrote at the University Bremen between 2010 and 2015. As such, it owes a great deal to my two mentors, colleagues and friends Olaf Groh-Samberg and Fabian Pfeffer. In their respective ways, Olaf and Fabian took a great part in my formation as a sociologist and very practically helped me write this book by relentlessly diverting my attention to other interesting research questions around the study of social inequality. By doing so, they taught me, among other things, scientific argumentation, statistical analyses and academic writing. In its best moments this book is as much theirs as my own. This book, of course, was not solely conceived in the lofty towers of academia but in the myriad people whom I have been fortunate to meet over the last years. Alex, Anne, Björn, Irene, Jack, Lisa, Maike, Nadine, Nate, Nora, Till, Ossi and Anup were tremendously important in helping me to think and not think about social mobility. Similarly important was my family. Elisabeth, Rolf, Christine, Johannes, Jakob, Anna, Martin, Katja, Philippa, Sophie and Lioba, I can only thank you for having been present, always. My partner Alice has carried the greatest weight of all, not only be
