Abstract: Using the ESRU-EMOVI 2011 survey, this paper documents trends in intergenerational mobility of education in Mexico. The main findings are: (1) a reduction in the difference between male (father-son) and female (mother-daughter) transition matrices among the younger cohorts; and (2) a monotonic increase in the three meanings of intergenerational mobility identified by van de Gaer et al. (2001) (i.e. mobility as movement, as equality of opportunity, and as equality of life chances), common to both male and female matrices, when moving from older to younger cohorts.
