Studies of how characteristics the family origin are associated with educational and labor market outcomes indicate degree openness societies have a long tradition in sociology. We review research published since 1990 into stratification social (occupational or class) mobility, focusing on importance parental socioeconomic circumstances, particular emphasis comparative studies. Large-scale data now available from many countries several time points led to more better descriptions inequality...
Education aims to establish the social study of education at centre political and sociological debate about post industrial societies. It looks major changes which have taken place in late 20th century educational policy.
In the sociological literature on social mobility, long‐standing convention has been to assume that intergenerational reproduction takes one of two forms: a categorical form parents passing big‐class position their children or gradational socioeconomic standing. These approaches ignore in own ways important role occupations play transferring opportunities from generation next. new analyses nationally representative data United States, Sweden, Germany, and Japan, authors show (a) are an...
The logit model of educational transitions has become standard in research stratification. One limitation the model, however is assumption that individuals progress through system a unilinear sequential mode. Many school systems contain parallel branches study are most fruitfully seen as qualitatively different alternative pathways with probabilities continuation attached to them. This tests multinomial careers, takes previous paths and grade-point averages into account. Applied large...
The authors analyze social fluidity among Swedish men and women using a series of 24 annual surveys, 1976–99 (N=63,280). A theoretical model suggests that changes in are normally driven by cohort rather than period effects. results support this argument: between the mid‐1970s late 1990s were due to successive replacement older less fluid, younger more cohorts. Cohorts differed their because effect class origins on educational attainment declined (an equalization effect) greater shares each...

The results showed that differences strength determined by storage total HMW glutenin subunits, the glutenin‐to‐gliadin ratio, relationship between SDS‐soluble SDS‐insoluble polymers.

Sex segregation with regard to choice of type education, or educational programme, is persistently high in Sweden, while men and women nowadays reach similar levels education. In order explain this phenomenon, a rational model proposed which sex-specific comparative advantages different fields study are focus. Such relative sex-typical areas hypothesized influence choices through their effects on the expected probabilities success programmes. The theoretical explains sex differences very...
The authors ask whether choice-driven education systems, with comprehensive schools and mass at the secondary tertiary level, represented in this article by England Sweden, provide educational opportunities for ethnic minorities. In studying attainment, make a theoretical distinction between mechanisms connected school performance on one hand (primary effects) choice, given performance, other (secondary effects). Using large national data sets recently developed methods, they show that...
Increasing immigration and school ethnic segregation have raised concerns about the social integration of minority students. We examined role immigrant status in exclusion moderating effect classroom density among Swedish 14-15-year olds (n = 4795, 51 % females), extending conventional models by studying multiple outcomes: victimization, isolation, rejection. Students with backgrounds were rejected more than majority youth first generation non-European immigrants isolated. Immigrants...
Poverty is commonly defined as a lack of economic resources that has negative social consequences, but surprisingly little known about the importance hardship for outcomes. This article offers an empirical investigation into this issue. We apply panel data methods on longitudinal from Swedish Level-of-Living Survey 2000 and 2010 (n = 3089) to study whether poverty affects four outcomes-close relations (social support), other (friends relatives), political participation, activity in...
We study the biases that arise in estimates of social inequalities children's cognitive ability test scores due to (i) misreporting socio-economic origin and (ii) parents' nonresponse. Unlike most previous studies, we are able draw on linked register data with high reliability almost no missingness thereby jointly consider impact measurement error Using 14-year-olds (n = 18,716) from a new survey conducted England, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden (Children Immigrants Longitudinal Survey Four...
Drawing on comparative analyses from nine Western countries, we ask whether local-born children a wide range of immigrant groups show patterns female advantage in education that are similar to those prevalent their host societies. We consider five outcomes throughout the educational career: test scores or grades at age 15, continuation after compulsory schooling, choice academic track upper-secondary education, completion upper secondary, and tertiary education. Despite great variation...
The mental health of children immigrant background compared to their majority peers is an important indicator integration. We analyse internalizing and externalizing problems in 14–15-year-olds from England, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden (n = 18,716), using new comparative data (Children Immigrants Longitudinal Survey Four European Countries). Studying more than 30 different origin countries, we find that despite potential with acculturation social stress, immigrants—particularly...
Richard Breen, Carina Mood, Jan O. Jonsson Sociological Science, February 4, 2016 DOI 10.15195/v3.a3 Abstract It is often pointed out that conclusions about intergenerational (parent–child) mobility can differ depending on whether we base them studies of class or income.
Previous studies have found that intergenerational income persistence is relatively high in the United States and Britain, especially as compared to Nordic countries. We compare association between family sons' earnings (National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1979), Britain (British Cohort 1970), Sweden (Population Register Data, 1965 cohort), find both elasticities rank-order correlations are highest States, followed by with being clearly more equal. ask whether differences educational...
We analysed the effects of social origin on class and income for a large sample Swedish employees, aged 25-45, in 1990. The statistical models are particularly strong handling mediating educational attainment. results show that, controlling level type education, sons daughters higher white-collar have substantially greater chances reaching service positions than children unskilled working origin. also found income. In model evaluating level, education work experience, advantage to having is...
