Education and Social Mobility: The Case of 1976-1986 Birth Cohort
The four-year-project “Education and Social Mobility” is designed for both analyzing and archiving educational inequality data for the cohorts born between 1943 and 1986, in which social change and educational opportunity expansion had made rapidly. In this project, we analyze educational inequality and the role of education in social mobility both in comparative perspective by time period and in gender perspective which has been neglected.
In 2011, the final year, we added the data for the cohort born between 1976 and 1986, and eventually achieved to archive data for the cohort born between 1943 and 1986. In this report, we analyzed and compared stratification in education and the outcomes of education of the birth cohorts of 1943-1955, 1956-1965, 1966-1975, and 1976-1986. Regarding the stratification in education, we focused on the qualitative differentiation of stratification in education. Concerning the outcomes of education, we concentrated on the effect of the family background and education on the occupational status and income, and gender effect.
