Zusammenfassung
Ausgehend von einem neuen Klassenschema und unter Erörterung vorhandener Einteilungen wie dem Klassenschema nach Goldthorpe (EGP) oder dem Schema der Industrial and Post-Industrial Classes (IPICS) vergleicht der Autor die soziale- und die Berufsmobilität und ihre Entwicklung im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert in Deutschland und den USA. Während Länderunterschiede in der generationsübergreifenden Mobilität zunächst überraschend klein sind, sind geschlechtsspezifische, regionale und ethnische Unterschiede anfänglich groß, gleichen sich aber zum Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts hin an. Abschließend werden die Mobilitätsperspektiven am Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts in beiden Ländern bewertet.
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 20th 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.
