Intergenerational mobility in educational and occupational atta: a comparative study of social classes in India / Majumder, Rajashi   Journal Article
Majumder, Rajashi Journal Article

Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract Disparities between social groups transcend the boundary of current generation and perpetuate across future generations as well. This is manifested as low intergenerational mobility in terms of both education and occupation in developing countries in general, and among specific ethnic groups within those countries in particular. This paper examines the extent of intergenerational mobility in both educational and occupational attainments for diverse social groups in India to understand the inertia of disparities prevalent. Results indicate strong intergenerational stickiness in both educational achievement and occupational distribution among the scheduled castes and tribes who have been discriminated against historically. Occupational mobility is lower than educational mobility indicating that educational progress is not being transformed to occupational improvement and bringing up the possibility of discrimination in the labour market. This also brings to the fore the fact that historical social exclusion has had a long-run effect and the inertia is quite strong.

International migration, remittances and labour force participation of left-behind family members: a study of Kerala / Khan, M Imran; C, Valatheeswaran   Article
Khan, M Imran Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The article examines the impact of international migration on the labour supply of male and female left-behind household members in both market and non-market work. In addition, we examine the labour supply behaviour of women whose husbands have migrated abroad. After controlling for potential endogeneity using the instrument variable (IV-probit) approach, estimates show that the supply of male and female left-behind members in market work decreases. While international migration results in the relocation of labour supply of male left-behind members from salary and casual wage workers to self-employed workers, it increases female left-behind members’ participation in household duties and reduces their participation in unpaid family work. The heterogeneity effect confirms that the impact of international migration is greater in rural than in urban areas.

Structural change, services sector and intergenerational occupational mobility in India: some exploratory evidence / Ganguly, Suparna; Roy, Saikat Sinha   Journal Article
Roy, Saikat Sinha Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/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.
