“…Social mobility is defined as a movement from one class or stratum to another either intragenerationally (movements during an individual's own lifetime) or intergenerationally (often movements from father to son/daughter) (Pontinen, 1983;Matras, 1980). Since the Second World War many social scientists have put considerable efforts into the analysis of social mobility.…”

“…2 For a review of cross-national research of mobility processes see Simkus (1981), Matras (1980), Kurz and Müller (1987), and Kalleberg (1988). whether or not these countries share comparable rates of mobility, it also addresses the heretofore rather ill-defined issues of convergence and divergence.…”

From father to son and from father to daughter: educational mobility in Hungary and the Netherlands for the birth cohorts from 1925 to 1955

In this article we are concerned with the comparison of educational mobility in Hungary and the Netherlands. The analysis is based on representative samples of 1981/2 and applies for both father-son and father-daughter educational mobility specified for four age cohorts. Two different theoretical perspectives are adopted -the industrialisation thesis and the reproduction thesis -from which the expectations for the analysis are derived. These expectations are confronted with the empirical data: firstly by means of overall mobility table measures, secondly by means' of the Hope-type log-linear analysis. The analysis shows that -contrary to the expectations from the reproduction thesis -no significant differences in circulation mobility can be detected between the two countries. Most of the differing mobility patterns are to be found in the structural component of mobility. This component can be uniform [linear] or non-uniform: the direction of the very significant differences supports the industrialisation thesis in this respect. The article ends with a discussion of the visualised effects of educational reforms that were introduced in both countries and with some suggestions for the next research steps.
