Abstract
For properly defining the concept of status inconsistency, six types of assumptions are required, dealing with the types of variables (stratification scales) that should be used to measure atatus inconsistency, the comparability of the scales, and the structures of the interrelations among these scales. Some of the relations among status inconsistency, social mobility, and basic concept of social stratification are considered briefly.Keywords
