Abstract: Abstract Social mobility is commonly measured as movement between two social identities. The origin identity is normally defined by the occupation of a person’s father when that person was at minimum school leaving age. The destination identity is defined by the person’s own occupation at a later stage in life. This intergenerational mobility will be our main focus of interest, either as movement to the person’s first job or to his job at the time of interview.
