Showing papers on "Vertical mobility published in 1977"
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the measurement of structural and exchange components of vertical mobility, with primary emphasis on occupational status mobility, assuming the use of interval scales, absolute, exchange and structural mobility are defined and measured at the individual level.
Abstract: This paper focuses on the measurement of structural and exchange components of vertical mobility, with primary emphasis on occupational status mobility. The shortcomings of the study of vertical mobility are discussed. Then, assuming the use of interval scales, absolute, exchange and structural mobility are defined and measured at the individual level. Aggregate measures of each mobility component are also presented which can be computed easily from the means, standard deviations and correlation of the origin and destination distributions. Finally, the aggregate measures are applied to occupational status mobility data for 1962 and 1972-1974. Interperlod comparisons are discussed, as well as racial comparisons and sex comparisons. Educational mobility is briefly compared to status mobility.

TL;DR: Breev as mentioned in this paper counts five forms of mobility of the population and of labor resources: (1) territorial; (2) branch; (3) vocational; (4) social (it must be assumed that it is meant in a more restricted sense than the one named above, otherwise this form woul...
Abstract: The development of modern society is characterized in particular by the increased mobility of the population. This mobility is a complex, multilayered problem. It is most common to speak of three forms of population mobility: natural (the dynamics of births and deaths), spatial (territorial movement, for the most part, from one settlement to another), and "social" (the change in the status of people in the socioeconomic structure of society in the broad sense of the word). The latter form is identified with the concept of social mobility. At the same time, this concept often also includes the form of spatial mobility, which is one of the channels of social advancement of people. However, there are also other gradations of forms of mobility of people. Thus B. D. Breev counts five forms of mobility of the population and of labor resources: (1) territorial; (2) branch; (3) vocational; (4) social (it must be assumed that it is meant in a more restricted sense than the one named above, otherwise this form woul...
