In many societies, caste is determined by birth and it is not possible for an individual to move to a higher caste. Caste systems are deeply ingrained in social structures and hierarchy, making it difficult for individuals to change their caste status. Efforts to promote equality and social mobility through education and government policies may help to address issues related to caste discrimination.
In many societies that have a caste system, individuals are born into a particular caste based on their family lineage. Caste is often passed down from generation to generation, and it can be difficult to change or move between castes. Social, cultural, and historical factors play a significant role in determining one's caste.

In traditional caste systems, social mobility is highly restricted, making it difficult for individuals to move to a higher caste. However, historically, some avenues for upward mobility included exceptional achievements in education, acquiring wealth, or gaining recognition for significant contributions to society. In modern contexts, social reforms, affirmative action policies, and increased access to education have provided more opportunities for individuals from lower castes to improve their social standing. Nonetheless, the rigid structures of caste still pose challenges to genuine upward mobility.
