Has the increase in educational attainment in Canada over the course of the twentieth century served to loosen the ascriptive links between status of family of origin and their own occupational status among Canadian men and women? Using data from the 1973 Canadian Mobility Study and the 1986 and 1994 Statistics Canada General Social Surveys, I address this question by applying two complementary methods, one applying OLS regression and the other a multinomial conditional logit (MCL) model. The regression results indicate that for men the effect of socioeconomic origins declined considerably in Canada during the twentieth century, as did the effect of language for both men and women. However, the effect of education on occupational status was unchanged for both men and women. Findings from the MCL models are generally consistent with the regression results, but show that the decline in the effect of father's occupation among men is largely the result of an increased flow between occupational categories rather than a decline in immobility
