“…Our Japanese data come from the Social Stratification and Mobility (SSM) surveys. The SSM survey has been the primary data source for studies of social and educational mobility in Japan (Ishida, 1993;Ojima, 1998;Imada, 2000). The first wave of the survey was conducted in 1955 by the Japanese Sociological Society.…”

The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS), directed by Stefano Bartolini since September 2006, is home to a large post-doctoral programme. Created in 1992, it aims to develop inter-disciplinary and comparative research and to promote work on the major issues facing the process of integration and European society. The Centre hosts major research programmes and projects, and a range of working groups and ad hoc initiatives. The research agenda is organised around a set of core themes and is continuously evolving, reflecting the changing agenda of European integration and the expanding membership of the European Union.

Father's income is predicted on the basis of a rich set of variables including education, occupation and job characteristics and we discuss changes in the Japanese earnings structure for cohorts born between the early 1900s and the 1960s. Our main results indicate that the intergenerational income elasticity (IGE) for both sons and daughters, in Japan lies around .35, which is an intermediate value, by international standards. We discuss the sensitivity of the IGE to using either personal or family income as the income variable for both fathers and children and perform some robustness analysis with respect to the first-step specification and to the age selection rule for children. We also examine changes across cohorts in the IGE. Results indicate that intergenerational mobility has been roughly stable over the last decades. Lastly, we estimate the intergenerational correlation of earnings. JEL Classification:D1, D3, J3

“…Evidence on the extent of intergenerational economic mobility in Japan is currently rather limited, in comparison to the vast literature that has focused on social and educational mobility (e.g. Ishida 1993, Ojima 1998, Imada 2000, Kondo 2000. To our knowledge, only two papers have examined the extent of intergenerational income mobility in Japan.…”
