Abstract: Peruvian society is characterized by a highly unequal income distribution. But is it also an unfair society in terms of the equal-opportunity criterion? Several studies have shown that social origin does not necessarily have a decreasing effect during the life cycle. For example, social origin can continue to influence a working career even after influencing education and the first job. The authors seek to answer this question by analyzing the effect of social origin on occupational mobility in Peru. They attempt to measure the impact of social background on occupational mobility after controlling for its effect on the prior stages of the life cycle.
