This article proposes a new approach to the measurement of intergenerational mobility in education. Borrowing the concept of inequality‐sensitive and additive achievement measure axiomatically developed by Apouey et al., we derive new indices of upward, downward, and total mobility, using a “movement approach.” It turns out that the Prais‐Bibby and Bartholomew mobility indices are particular cases of the mobility indices we introduce. We then present an empirical illustration based on the 2016 European Social Survey. Particular attention is given to within country differences between fathers to children and mothers to children educational mobility. When comparing two countries, we also make a distinction between gross and net mobility, the latter referring to the case where country differences in the educational structure of parents and children are neutralized.

“…Com relação à mobilidade educacional segundo a condição de migração, a literatura internacional relata que filhos de migrantes, por terem melhores oportunidades educacionais e um ambiente mais propício ao acúmulo de capital humano, tendem a registrar maior mobilidade educacional se comparados aos filhos de não migrantes da região de origem (Lam e Liu, 2019;Oberdabernig e Schneebaum, 2017;Schneebaum et al, 2016). Na literatura nacional, a principal referência é Sousa (2012), que utiliza os dados do Censo demográfico de 2000, encontrando evidências de maior mobilidade educacional para os filhos de famílias migrantes em relação às não migrantes.…”

Conhecer a influência do background familiar na acumulação de capital humano é essencial para que se possa desenhar políticas públicas voltadas à elevação do nível de escolaridade da população. Este trabalho analisa a mobilidade intergeracional de educação no Brasil segundo a condição de migração. Verificam-se as mudanças no status educacional dos indivíduos que migraram na infância ou início da adolescência do Nordeste para o Sudeste entre as décadas de 1950 e 1980, tendo em vista a importância desse fluxo migratório na história recente do país. Os dados utilizados são provenientes da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD/IBGE) de 2014, que contou com um suplemento de mobilidade sócio-ocupacional. A metodologia do estudo compreende a estimação do grau de persistência intergeracional de educação, mediante um modelo de regressão linear, e o ajuste de um modelo logit ordenado para os níveis de escolaridade alcançados pelos indivíduos. Os resultados contrastam com os obtidos na maior parte da literatura internacional e mostram que o migrante na infância ou primeiros anos da adolescência NE-SE entre as décadas de 1950 e 1980 possuía menor mobilidade intergeracional de educação, quando comparado ao nativo tanto região de origem como de destino.

Upward Earnings Mobility in Hong Kong: Policy Implications Based on a Census Data Narrative

Using census data spanning several decades, this paper offers a new and intuitive approach to understanding earnings mobility. We use “mobility ratios” and “immobility ratios” as indicators of the speed of upward mobility at the top end (i.e. moving into the ranks of the well-off) and the bottom end of the income distribution (i.e. moving out of poverty) as each cohort ages. We demonstrate that in Hong Kong, relative income upward mobility did slow down considerably for those born 1976–1980 and after. The 1976–1980 cohort is a watershed, prior to which upward mobility was generally robust and after which upward mobility was significantly subdued. The later cohorts generally start off with a much lower percentage that is well-off and a much higher percentage that is poor. Given such a low base, the apparent existence of upward mobility is not much solace for the majority as many are stuck in poverty. The prospect of slower economic growth in the coming decade suggests that it is unlikely that their lifetime fortunes will be better than those of older cohorts.
