“…Using cross-sectional surveys of this type to assess changes over time cannot avoid confusing the eects of cohort with the eects of age (Macdonald and Ridge, 1988;Micklewright, 1994;Payne et al, 1994). For example, if we ®nd (as we do) that the cohort with ages 44 years or under contains a larger proportion of respondents in non-manual jobs than the cohort with ages 45 years or over, this could in theory be because people's occupational status declines beyond age 45 years (an age eect) and not because the people in the younger cohort have better chances of entering non-manual jobs.…”

The social status of people brought up as Catholics in Scotland, as measured by their occupational class, is analysed by using cross-sectional survey data gathered in 1997. The main ®nding is that Catholics have probably risen in social status to a greater extent than non-Catholics. The experience of Scottish Catholics seems to be distinctive, because no such patterns are found for England, and indeed in this respect Scottish Catholics more closely resemble members of non-Christian religions in England than they do English Catholics. The most likely explanation is the particular role which state-funded Catholic schools have played in Scotland, especially the system of comprehensive secondary schools that was set up after 1965. However, the analysis is suggestive rather than de®nitive and needs to be replicated on cohort data with larger sample sizes.

El análisis de clase ha sido criticado recientemente desde varios puntos de vista. En este artículo sostenemos que mucha de esta crítica está fuera de lugar y que, en cuanto programa de investigación, la promesa del análisis de clase está lejos de agotarse. La primera parte del artículo clarifica la naturaleza y el propósito del análisis de clase, tal y como lo entendemos, y en particular lo distingue del análisis de clase de la sociología marxista. Luego la segunda parte defiende la relevancia actual del análisis de clase, en nuestra concepción de éste, revisando hallazgos de tres áreas centrales de investigación en curso.

Intergenerational mobility and occupational status in Britain

This paper examines the link between parents occupational attainment and that of their children. The existence of such a link implies dependence on inherited conditions and the stronger the link the less the potential for intergenerational mobility. The degree to which occupational mobility is influenced by parental achievements is investigated using data from the British Household Panel Survey. The evidence obtained suggests that individual attainment is strongly influenced by parental status. In particular, the occupational attainment of sons is found to depend significantly on the socioeconomic status of their fathers. The implication is that occupational mobility in 1990s Britain was still to some extent constrained by the achievements of the previous generation.
