TLDR
In this article, the estimation of Canadian occupational mobility from aggregate census data is concerned with the estimation process of a stationary Markov chain and certain meaningful conditions are imposed on the transition probabilities to convert the estimation strategy into a linear programming problem.Abstract:
Though various studies on spatial mobility are available, little is known about occupational mobility in Canada. This study is concerned with the estimation of Canadian occupational mobility from aggregate census data. The process of occupational mobility is characterized as a stationary Markov chain and certain meaningful conditions are imposed on the transition probabilities to convert the estimation strategy into a linear programming problem. Cross-section data for 1951 and 1961 are employed for estimation purposes. The study reveals that in 1951–61, the Canadian females had higher rates of mobility than the males.read more

Stochastic Modelling of Social Mobility: A Case Study in Golaghat, Assam
TL;DR: In this article, the celebrated Markov chain model has been used to analyse the mobility of the inhabitants of the district Go laghat in the state of Assam, India, in addition to equilibriu m d istributions for various classes; actual distributions of fathers and sons for different classes based on the sample observations have been computed.
