TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse the factors that lead to intergenerational persistence among sons, where this is measured as the association between childhood family income and later adult earnings, and explore the decline in mobility in the UK between the 1958 NCDS cohort and the 1970 cohort.

TL;DR: The authors used the National Child Development Survey (NCDS) to examine the cumulated experience of unemployment, highlighting how unemployment experience is concentrated on a minority of the workforce over extended periods, and there is strong evidence of structural dependence induced by early unemployment experience for men but only minor persistence for women.

TL;DR: The authors used the National Child Development Survey to analyse the impact of youth unemployment upon the wage up to twenty years later and found a large and significant wage penalty, even after controlling for education, region and a wealth of family and individual characteristics.

TL;DR: This paper showed that the correlation between family background (as measured by family income) and educational attainment has been rising between children born in the late 1950s and those born two decades later.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between the remuneration of the highest paid director and the economic performance of approximately 300 large UK companies over the 1980s and early 1990s.
