Abstract: Zarca (Bernard). - The Transmission of Self-Employed Status Between Generations: One Heir or Several? In a previous article that dealt with the transmission of self-employed status from one generation to the next, the author carried out an analysis of the extent to which such transmission was limited to persons of the same sex (father-son, mother-daughter), or crossed the sex line (father-daughter, mother-son), and of the importance of the position of the male or female heir in the family. The analysis is carried further in the present paper, which investigates the chances of siblings inheriting their father's status (i.e. the extent to which brothers, or brothers and daughters'husbands, are in competition with one another), in terms of the sibling's characteristics and the existing ramifications within the family of origin (i.e. the role played by uncles and grandfathers). The Survey of Family Networks (1976) provides an ideal data base for this type of analysis.
