SOCIAL MOBILITY IN THE 20TH CENTURY - FLORIAN R...

Based on a novel class scheme and a unique compilation of German and American data  this book
reveals that intergenerational class mobility increased over most of the past century. While
country differences in intergenerational mobility are surprisingly small  gender  regional 
racial and ethnic differences were initially large but declined over time. At the end of the 20
th century  however  mobility prospects turned to the worse in both countries. In light of
these findings  the book develops a narrative account of historical socio-political
developments that are likely to have driven the basic resemblances across countries but also
account for the initial decline and the more recent increase in intergenerational inequality.
