Anthony Atkinson, A. K. Maynard and C. G. Trinder

Chapter 21 in Human Resources, Employment and Development, 1983, pp 290-308 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This paper is concerned with the analysis of intergenerational income mobility in Britain. The first section pursues a brief review of previous studies of intergenerational mobility, of a sociological and economic nature. The second section describes the nature of the data source used for our recent work in York, England. A final section presents some preliminary results from our analysis of income continuities between the generations. These results are concerned with income, and not earnings as in Atkinson, Maynard and Trinder (1978), and will be the subject of further analysis in Atkinson, Maynard and Trinder (forthcoming 1981).
