Intergenerational Mobility in a Mid-Atlantic Economy: Canada, 1871–1901
利用加拿大1871-1901年完整人口普查数据，研究代际职业流动性，发现地区与语言群体间差异显著，国际比较中加拿大处于美洲与欧洲之间。
This article uses new linked full-count census data for Canada to document intergenerational occupational mobility from 1871 to 1901. We find significant differences among Canadian regions and language groups, with linguistic minorities experiencing notably lower rates of intergenerational mobility. International comparisons place Canada midway between other economies in the Americas and the most mobile European societies. Decompositions of overall mobility show that the Canadian experience shared the New World feature of high mobility from manual occupations, but also the Old World feature of greater persistence in white-collar jobs.
