Abstract
In recent years in Macedonia, there has been an accelerated social stratification. The lower stratum population is constantly increasing. Laeken poverty indicators based on the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (2010) the at-risk-of-poverty-rate for unemployed persons is 50.6%, while the at-risk-of-poverty-rate for employed persons is 9.9%. The pluralism of the ‘90s began with the ideals for equal opportunities but people are now desperate and they are struggling with their own illusions. Despite the fact that many are experiencing vertical mobility, this is more a result of changes in the employment structure rather than the existence of a high level of equal opportunities. On the other hand, globalization is urging geographical mobility at large, and this makes young generations migrate in larger cities and more developed countries. The inequalities between people are becoming more evident especially the new lifestyle of the rich stratum of the society such as politicians, businesspersons, real estate owners and traders. This paper deals with issues that concern movements of entire generations based on their education level and jobs they perform, in externally highly influenced environments. Women in Macedonia are increasingly enrolling at universities and this makes them competent for many professions. However, statistical indicators show that they are not yet present enough in managerial positions in various different institutions or on the highly paid jobs lists. The salary in Macedonia are low. Blau and Duncan (2005) assert the importance of mobility for understanding modern industrial society, particularly its stratified character Through statistical data, we will attempt to prove the above-mentioned approaches.

Summary
This study aims at explaining the phenomenon of changes in social mobility in everyday life conditions in the global society. We can all remember the scenes from the very famous movie of Titanic whereupon the waits for obtaining a ferry ticket lasted for weeks and even months It was an inrush, a movement, which people were ready to undertake for the sake of a change in their lives; they wanted to climb up, go to the States, which was undergoing an impressive economic and industrial development and get rich. Marx’s demand is that workers should join and have massive action "The real outcome of their struggle is not instantaneous but the success of the union of workers who expanded all the more" (Marx, K., 1978, pp 6-7) In such conditions, Marx would naturally, as the wind in the ships sails sees the development of means of communication (transports) and industry which enables the interconnection of employees of different countries and geographies. This is how some people collect a lot of wealth for themselves, and a lot of others do not
