Longitudinal data from 170 female and 140 male Australians were used to examine relations among birth order, sibsize, aspirations and young adults' educational attainment and occupational status. For the analysis, regression models were examined that included terms to account for possible linear, interaction, and curvilinear relationships. The findings suggest that, although siblings' birth order and sibsize are not related to the social mobility of males they do influence the eventual social status of females. In particular, increases in birth order are related to decreases in females' educational attainment and occupational status
