Abstract  This paper focuses on the relationship between spatial mobility and social mobility, which is related to the topics of migration. By systematically reviewing the related literature in human geography and other disciplines from abroad, the paper finds that: 1) A significant body of literature provides evidence of the important link between spatial mobility and social mobility. Spatial mobility is not only understood as the relative movement and displacement of physical spaces in traditional geography but also as a structured dimension of social life. 2) Through analyzing the frequency of keywords and reading important literature, this paper identifies three main issues in the existing research on the relationship between spatial mobility and social mobility. These issues are: Spatial mobility and social mobility led by education, occupation, and residential patterns. It also explores how individuals can achieve upward social mobility through career development under the free economic system in industrial societies. The social mobility under the influence of residential mobility discusses the relationship between resource differences and class stratification, and structured perspectives such as residential communities and their neighborhood effects. The social distribution of power is deeply reflected in geographic patterns and spatial processes of residential mobility. The paper concludes that the relationship between spatial mobility and social mobility exhibits diverse characteristics.
