This article investigates the relationship between social mobility and status in guilds and the political situation in sixteenth-century Ghent. First, it argues that Ghent guilds showed neither a static picture of upward mobility nor a rectilinear and one-way evolution. It demonstrates that the opportunities for social promotion within the guild system were, to a great extent, determined by the successive political regimes of the city. Second, the article proves that the guild boards in the sixteenth century had neither a typically oligarchic nor a typically democratic character. Third, the investigation of the houses in which master craftsmen lived shows that guild masters should not be depicted as a monolithic social bloc, but that significant differences in status and wealth existed. The article concludes that there was no linear positive connection between the duration of a master craftsman's career and his wealth and social position.

In the late 1930s, the Komsomol nearly tripled in size. Its emergence as a mass youth organization demanded that the requirements for members become more lax. The expansion of the league was tied to the start of World War II in Europe, which contributed to the stratification of the league between professional organizers and younger members. A consensus emerged among Komsomol leaders and members that material benefits and social promotion were key aspects of membership in political society and in the construction of socialism. By involving large numbers of youth in official culture, youth organizers hoped to cultivate them as defenders of socialism and to prevent them from becoming irredeemable enemies.
