The Inheritance of Inequality
Originally published in 1980 at a time when the discipline of sociology was still relatively young in Australia, The Inheritance of Inequality is an important contribution to the study of social mobility in Australia. The book is based on findings from a survey of nearly 5,000 Australians who were interviewed about their family backgrounds and occupational careers. In its scope and sample size, the survey was unique among non-governmental Austral…
Developments in special education in Ireland: Deep structures and policy making
Clinical discourses from the domains of medicine and psychology exert a powerful influence on theory and practice in special education. These discourses first define disability as ‘an individual human condition’ and locate ‘the problem’ in the physiological and psychological characteristics of the individual. Second, they privilege the role of experts and exclude the perspectives of disabled people themselves. In spite of considerable criticism, …
Social Origins, Education, and Fraternal Mobility
In Australia and Norway, education makes brothers alike in mobility, and groups of brother different, to a considerably greater extent than it generates individual differences which are independent of group membership. These findings imply that education cannot be regarded as an egalitarian influence merely because it is a means to mobility. Comparison of several societies shows them to be almost alike in degree of fraternal similarity in educati…

The traditional method for assesing generational mobility hass been exposed to remeasurement studies but not to the test of an alternative questioning strategy.

In the conventional approach sons report on their own statuses and give proxy reports for parental statuses. In our second perspective parents are questioned about themselves and give proxy…
Measurement of Occupational Status in Comparative Analysis: A Research Note
With the increasing use of sophisticated measurement techniques in status attainment research, more attention has been given to the effects of operational definitions on substantive interpretation. This paper reports the results of recoding and recalibrating 1965 Australian mobility data. It is shown that coding unreliability has negligible impact on estimated correlations between father's, first, and current jobs, but that different coding rules…
