Intergenerational mobility refers to the upward or downward social and economic movement between generations within a family. In this scenario, the children of immigrants are experiencing upward mobility as they are achieving a higher standard of living than their parents. Intragenerational mobility refers to mobility within a person's own lifetime, and structural mobility refers to mobility resulting from shifts in the larger social and economic structure. The term "immigrant mobility" is not commonly used in sociological literature.
