Abstract
From the 'founding fathers' to the present day, debates about social divisions have been central to sociology, although some sociologists have begun to question the relevance today of social class. In this article, the authors present their research data to show how, despite the apparent fluidity of the class structure & the diverse ways of making the transition from compulsory schooling to adult employment, social class remains an important factor in young people's lives.
