The role of education in intergenerational class mobility trends in Argentina: Mediating and moderating effects across cohorts, born 1938–1996
A Socio-Economic Index for Occupational Stratification in Argentina: With Insights for Comparative Research
This paper develops a country-specific Argentinean Socio-Economic Index (ARSEI) to measure the status of occupations in Argentina, using the 2015 Encuesta Permanente de Hogares (sample size = 50,947). The ARSEI scale is developed in an indirect-effect model that conceives of occupational status as an optimal scaling of detailed occupations that maximizes the indirect effect of education on earnings mediated by occupation, and by corollary minimiz…
Occupational Status Attainment and Intergenerational Transmission of Occupational Status among Surinamese in Suriname and Surinamese abroad
This paper examines occupational status attainment and intergenerational occupational status transmission among 2,302 Surinamese men and women abroad (aged 25-64) as compared to their 14,310 brothers and sisters – nearest in age – who have remained in Suriname. The research is an example of an origins-of-migration design – in which a comparison is made between migrants and non-migrants in the country of origin –, extended with a sibling-design, t…

Parental socioeconomic status and the timing of first marriage: What is the role of unmarried cohabitation? Results from a cross-national comparison
Previous research has shown that individuals from high-status families enter marriage later than those from low-status families. However, in many Western societies, it has become common to cohabit prior to marriage. Does this change the link between parent
Facebook and Face-to-Face: Examining the Short- and Long-Term Reciprocal Effects of Interactions, Perceived Social Support, and Depression among International Students
We investigated the proposition that among international students, face-to-face (FtF) interaction with the host-country network, and Facebook interaction with the host- and the home-country networks predict perceived social support, which, in turn, predicts psychological adjustment. We tested the model using cross-lagged and non-lagged reciprocal effects path analyses on three-wave panel data gathered via online surveys. The results indicated tha…
Has Migration Been Beneficial for Migrants and Their Children: Comparing Social Mobility of Turks in Western Europe, Turks in Turkey, and Western European Natives
The study compares the social mobility and status attainment of first-and second-generation Turks in nine Western European countries with those of Western European natives and with those of Turks in Turkey. It shows that the children of low-class migrants are more likely to acquire a higher education than their counterparts in Turkey, making them more educationally mobile. Moreover, they successfully convert this education in the Western European…
Parental Socio-Economic Status and First Union Formation: Can European Variation Be Explained by the Second Demographic Transition Theory
Previous research has demonstrated that parental socio-economic status (SES) is an important determinant of the timing of entry into a first co-residential union. Whilst the majority of existing studies found that young adults from high-SES families delay their first union compared with those from lower-SES backgrounds, all these studies were conducted within a single country. This study examines the link between parental SES and the timing and t…
Families: Identifying the Research Potential of an Origins-of-Migration Study
Despite extensive recent advances in the empirical and theoretical study of migration, certain critical areas in the analysis of European migration remain relatively underdeveloped both theoretically and empirically. Specifically, we lack studies that both incorporate an origin comparison and trace processes of intergenerational transmission across migrants over multiple generations and incorporating family migration trajectories. This paper outl…
Intergenerational Consequences of Migration: Socio-Economic, Family and Cultural Patterns of Stability and Change in Turkey and Europe
Migration is a life-changing experience not only for the migrants themselves but also for those left behind. Using a novel 'origins of migration' approach, this fascinating book reveals the true impact of migration across multiple aspects of migrants' lives by comparing three generations of Turkish migrants to Europe to their non-migrant counterparts in Turkey. Working with unique and exciting information on 2000 Turkish families and their 50,000…
A new international measure of social stratification
In this paper we present a new international measure of social stratification, the ICAMS (International Cambridge Scale). Our aim is to bring new evidence to the hypothesis that the construct that underlies measures of social stratification as different as prestige scales, socio-economic indexes, social distance and social status scales is actually unidimensional. We evaluate the new scale according to both criterion-related and construct validit…

Non-Standard Work Schedules and Childbearing in the Netherlands: A Mixed-Method Couple Analysis
This study examined the effect of working at non-standard times on the transition to first and second childbirth. Using quantitative couple data from two waves of the Netherlands Kinship Panel Study ( N = 742) and semi-structured qualitative interviews ( N = 29), we found a lower probability of having a first child when the female partner was engaged in non-standard schedules, and a higher likelihood of second childbirth for couples where either …
Unemployment scarring by gender: Human capital depreciation or stigmatization? Longitudinal evidence from the Netherlands, 1980-2000
Measuring and Modelling Level of Education in European Societies
We present two methods to improve the comparative measurement of level of education. The first method derives optimal scale scores for all country-specific education categories distinguished in the European Social Survey Round 1–4 [ESS R1–R4]. This results in a novel continuous comparative education measure that we label ISLED: the International Standard Level of Education. The second method further improves measurement quality by modelling level…
De ontwarring van de sociologie: Over het werk en denken van Wout Ultee1
Ultees belangrijkste betekenis voor de sociologie – kort gezegd hoe hij deze discipline heeft ontward – ligt in de uitleg ervan via centrale probleemstellingen, de zogenoemde hoofdvragen van de sociologie. Aan Ultees bijdrage ligt een werkwijze ten grondslag die consequent is ontleend aan een popperiaanse wetenschapstheorie en methodologie, die hij met bewonderenswaardige vasthoudendheid in praktijk heeft gebracht. Daarnaast is hij in zijn gehele…
Patterns of intergenerational mobility of the old and new middle classes in a post-industrial society: Netherlands 1970-2006
CHAPTER Eleven The Netherlands: Access to Higher Education-Institutional Arrangements and Inequality of Opportunity
Recent Trends in Intergenerational Occupational Class Reproduction in the Netherlands 1970–99
The Netherlands has moved from being a comparatively closed society in the 1950s towards a relatively open one around 2000. Analysing occupational class mobility for men and for women in the labour force between 1970 and 1999 on the basis of 35 surveys, a clear downward trend in total social reproduction is found for men (–1.6% per year) and for women (–1.1%). No convincing evidence of a trend reversal has been found. This general trend towards m…
Three Internationally Standardised Measures for Comparative Research on Occupational Status
Do Mothers Matter? A Comparison of Models of the Influence of Mothers' and Fathers' Educational and Occupational Status on Children's Educational Attainment
Changes in status attainment in Hungary between 1910 and 1989
This article addresses the effects of economic and political change on social mobility in Hungary between 1910 and 1989 by investigating whether the effects of family background on schooling and the effects of family background and schooling on first occupation vary between periods in Hungary's twentieth-century history. For this purpose, we distinguish five periods: the long-lasting Depression (1910 to 1933), the period around the Second World W…
The Intergenerational Transmission of Occupational Status and Sex-Typing at Children's Labour Market Entry
To what extent do the mother's and father's jobs and occupational sex-typing influence the status and sex-typing of their children's occupation at first entry into the labour market? Referring to a database containing 5027 respondents of two merged Dutch surveys held between 1992 and 1995, this study finds that the effect of the mother's occupational status on her daughter's is significant, but smaller than either the effect of father's status on…

The Fourth Generation of Comparative Stratification Research
developments in comparative stratification research over the last half century within a framework of three distinctive generations.2 Although the research questions addressed in the first post-war generation were quite diverse, the main achievement was to produce a set of national probability sample surveys that made it possible for the first time to characterize the stratification patterns of national societies. The central comparative question …

Comparative Intergenerational Stratification Research: Three Generations and Beyond
In this article we review 40 years of cross-national comparative research on the intergenerational transmission of socioeconomic advantage, with particular attention to developments over the past 15 years-that is, since the transition between (what have become known as) the second and third generations of social stratification and mobility research. We identify the generations by a set of core studies and categorize them with respect to data coll…

Occupational Status Attainment in the Netherlands, 1920-1990 A Multinomial Logistic Analysis
Status attainment in the Netherlands is analysed using both linear regression and multinomial logistic (MNL) regression for male labour-market cohorts between 1920 and 1990. The quasi row and columns 2 mobility model (Logan, 1983; Goodman, 1979) is included in the MNL model, and a stereotyped ordered regression model (Anderson, 1984; DiPrete, 1990) is used for the covariates. The regression analyses indicate that the effect of father's occupation…

Access to education in six Eastern European countries between 1940 and 1985. Results of a cross-national survey
This paper presents an analysis of patterns of access to education in six Eastern European countries (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Russia, and Slovakia) between 1940 and 1985. As in other industrial countries, average educational attainment (measured by duration, i.e. years in school) has increased greatly since 1940. But the expansion was most rapid until 1970. In all six countries, women increased their educational attainment more…
