Abstract

Research on the intergenerational inheritance of occupational attainment has been restricted to sons for a long time. This is remarkable, given the ubiquity of historical settings where female labor force participation was high. This study of civil marriage certificates in nineteenth-century West Flanders investigates a comprehensive sample covering the economic activities not only of fathers and sons but also of mothers and daughters. We find that daughters were more mobile than sons. Daughters, however, enjoyed less growth in terms of intergenerational mobility against the background of a slowly industrializing economy.

儿子和女儿的代际流动:来自19世纪西佛兰德斯的证据

长期以来，关于职业成就代际传承的研究仅限于儿子。考虑到女性劳动力参与率高的历史背景，这一点非常显著。这项关于19世纪西佛兰德斯民事婚姻证书的研究调查了一个全面的样本，不仅涵盖了父亲和儿子的经济活动，还涵盖了母亲和女儿的经济活动。我们发现女儿比儿子更容易移动。然而，在经济缓慢工业化的背景下，女儿在代际流动方面的增长较少。
