Intergenerational mobility of sons and daughters: evidence from nineteenth-century West Flanders
利用19世纪西佛兰德地区的民事婚姻登记数据，研究了父亲、母亲与儿子、女儿的职业代际传递，发现女儿比儿子更具流动性，但在缓慢工业化背景下其代际流动性增长较少。
Abstract Research on the intergenerational inheritance of occupational attainment has been restricted to sons for a long time. This is remarkable, given the ubiquity of historical settings where female labor force participation was high. This study of civil marriage certificates in nineteenth-century West Flanders investigates a comprehensive sample covering the economic activities not only of fathers and sons but also of mothers and daughters. We find that daughters were more mobile than sons. Daughters, however, enjoyed less growth in terms of intergenerational mobility against the background of a slowly industrializing economy.
