The first barrier is fear. Many people are afraid to take risks and
start something new. Because people are used to stability and
are afraid of losing what they already have. Not everyone can
refuse the comforts that they have or, on the contrary, load
themselves with a lot of work that will take up all their free
time.
Besides of the fear, people are stopped by the problem of
instability. Social mobility can completely destroy the formed
life. Many people do not understand what the outcome of
development will be, what they will eventually do and whether
it will become popular in society. And when people face this
problem, they have to give up everything and go down to the
initial stage. Especially when a person has a small income, then
to be in an even worse situation is equal to the collapse of the
whole life (shows your knowledge).
The important problem is the disparity of resources. Some
segments of the population can afford any standard of living,
profession, and place of residence. Others are forced to make do
with the minimum and cannot change the situation due to the
initial lack of resources. But there are situations in which even
resources do not help in development. Let's look at any caste in
India. Is there a possibility of vertical social mobility in
professions? Of course, not. These are their traditions that
cannot be destroyed in any way. If a person lives with their
community and family, he will never know what social mobility
is in the profession. When someone from the caste tries to
change his social level, he rejects by everyone and banished
from his home. This shows that the desire of changing the social
level can leave a person with nothing (RELEVANT
EXAMPLES).
