Abstract

This study investigates into intergenerational occupational mobility of Indian workers towards and within service sectors during globalization. In particular, such mobility of workers is observed in the presence of structural shift of the economy towards service industry, especially towards service trade, and explores whether there is intergenerational mobility towards services and more skill-oriented occupations in India during 1999–2011. The Altham measure of relative mobility is applied on the National Sample Survey Organization employment–unemployment survey database to measure the degree of association between occupational choice of fathers and co-resident sons in urban India. An upward mobility among sons is observed between 1999–2000 and 2011–2012. JEL Codes: F14, F16, J62, L80, C46

结构变化、服务业和印度代际职业流动:一些探索性证据

本研究探讨了全球化过程中印度工人在服务行业的代际职业流动。特别是，这种工人的流动性是在经济向服务业，特别是向服务贸易的结构性转变中观察到的，并探讨了1999-2011年印度服务业和更多技能导向型职业是否存在代际流动性。本文将相对流动性的Altham测度应用于国家抽样调查组织的就业失业调查数据库，以衡量印度城市父亲的职业选择与共同居住的儿子之间的关联程度。在1999-2000年和2011-2012年期间，观察到儿子的向上流动。JEL代码:F14、F16、J62、L80、C46

期刊介绍： The South Asian nations have progressively liberalized their economies in recent years in an effort to integrate with the world economy. They have also taken steps to enhance multilateral and regional economic integration. Even though the South Asian economies have grown at an average rate of more than 5 per cent over the last few years, roughly 40 per cent of their people still live below the poverty line. Hence, the South Asian region continues to face many challenges of economic and social development. The South Asia Economic Journal (SAEJ) is designed as a forum for informed debate on these issues, which are of vital importance to the people of the region who comprise one-sixth of the world’s population. The peer-reviewed journal is devoted to economic analysis and policy options aimed at promoting cooperation among the countries comprising South Asia. It also discusses South Asia’s position on global economic issues, its relations with other regional groupings and its response to global developments. We also welcome contributions to inter-disciplinary analysis on South Asia. As a refereed journal, SAEJ carries articles by scholars, economic commentators,policy-makers and officials, from both the private and public sectors. Our aim is to create a vibrant research space to explore the multidimensional economic issues of concern to scholars working on South Asia. Among the issues debated in relation to South Asia are: - the implications of global economic trends; - the issues and challenges by WTO; - approaches to industrialization and development; - the role of regional institutions such as the SAARC; - the relationship between SAARC and other regional economic groupings such as ASEAN; - the implications of economic liberalization for trade and investment in the region; - new initiatives that can be launched to enhance economic cooperation among the South Asian countries both on a bilateral and a regional basis.
