Trends in Occupational Mobility in Canada and the United States: A Comparison
利用加拿大和美国的数据,比较1924至1953年间出生男性的职业流动性,发现两国均无显著趋势差异。
Using data from the Canadian Mobility Study and from the OCGI study, we compare occupational mobility in Canada and the United States for males who were 16 years of age between 1924 and 1953. The data are coded into six comparable occupational groupings and the problems involved in doing this are discussed. The analysis of trends is carried out both within and between countries. Using log-linear models, we find that there is no trend in mobility in either country and no difference in mobility between the two countries.
