The outlines of major trends in the size and structure of the labour force in Israel are reviewed, and data are presented indicating the extent and directions of intergenerational occupational mobility of Jewish grooms marrying in Israel in 1955. With five occupational categories employed, only 43 per cent of the grooms reported themselves in the same occupational categories as their fathers, and 57 per cent of the sons reported themselves in different categories. Almost two-thirds of the sons of ‘skilled and semi-skilled’ fathers report themselves in the same category and three-fifths of the farmers' sons are themselves farmers; but sons of ‘unskilled worker’ fathers and of fathers in ‘clerical, sales, and commercial’ occupations are more likely to be in the ‘skilled or semi-skilled’ occupational category than in their fathers' occupational categories; and sons of ‘professional and technical workers’ fathers are about as likely to be in ‘skilled or semi-skilled’ occupations as in their fathers' occupational category. Comparative data are presented for separate geo-cultural origin and duration-of-residence sub-groups. The latter data indicate sharp variation in directions of intergenerational occupational mobility associated with geo-cultural origin and duration-of-residence in Israel
