Intergenerational Mobility

A chapter in Intergenerational Mobility, 2013, pp 23-31 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Disparities in education and occupational status among various social classes have been a reality in India. We are however more interested in examining how children’s education and occupation are related to parental standards. More specifically we want to quantify the degree of intergenerational upward mobility in education and occupation. In the literature this has been done using the Mobility Matrix or cross-tabulation of children’s parameters with parental parameters. Thereafter, the percentage of children moving to a higher educational or occupational class compared to their parents provides us a measure of intergenerational mobility.
