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.

Australia is widely regarded as one of the most equalitarian industrial countries. New data indicate that the gross rate of occupational mobility between fathers and sons in Australia is high compared with Italy but somewhat lower than in the United States. However, when structural determinants are taken into account, Australia is found to have the highest rate of circulation mobility of the three countries. Additional detailed evidence for Austr…

Secondary analysis of responses to 40 questions from seven U.S. national surveys conducted between 1953 and 1961 found larger Christian-Jewish than Protestant-Catholic differences not only on religious questions but also on many other attitudes and behaviors. Catholics had the highest rates of religious participation, were least opposed to out-marriage, and scored highest on “authoritarianism.” Jews were the most secular, politically most liberal…
