False

Explanation:

Social stratification can be explained as the categorization or grouping of people in the society based on some factors like education, gender, occupation, race, income, derived power among others. This means that it takes into account the differences among individual members of the society and ranks individuals, thereby creating a social hierarchy.

This results to so many things. For example, people in the same level or strata tend to have same type of jobs and probably same income.

Social mobility is the movement of people in the society. And this could be horizontal mobility, which is the movement within the same status, and vertical mobility, which is the movement from one social level to another.

In this case, slavery does not allow social mobility, because it is done against the will of the captives.
