Intergenerational standard-of-living mobility in nine EEC countries: country characteristics, competitive balance and social fluidity
Year: 1986
Type: article
Abstract: In this paper it is argued that an analysis of intergenerational standard-of-living mobility tables is of equal interest to an analysis of intergenerational class mobility or status group mobility tables. Such tables are analysed for the nine countries of the European Economic Community in 1976. This is done in a log-linear analysis, modelling structural mobility (or competitive balance), circulation mobility (or social fluidity) and the interaction of specific country characteristics with these types of mobility. Countries with a more leftist political history show more circulation mobility in standard of living than countries with a less leftist history. Countries with a higher absolute level of technological development show less structural mobility than countries with a lower level of technological development Countries with a more rapid pace of economic development display less structural mobility than countries with a slower pace of economic development.
