This article examines the role of the Great Depression in shaping the intergenerational mobility of some of the most upwardly mobile cohorts of the twentieth century. Using newly linked census and vital records from the Longitudinal, Intergenerational Family Electronic Micro-database, we examine the occupational and educational mobility of more than 265,000 sons and daughters born in Ohio and North Carolina. We find that the deepest and most protracted downturn in U.S. history had limited effects on sons' intergenerational mobility but reduced daughters' intergenerational mobility.
本文探讨了大萧条在塑造20世纪一些最具向上流动性群体的代际流动方面所起的作用。利用来自纵向代际家庭电子微观数据库的最新关联人口普查和生命记录，我们研究了出生在俄亥俄州和北卡罗来纳州的265,000多名子女的职业和教育流动情况。我们发现，美国历史上最严重、最持久的经济衰退对儿子的代际流动影响有限，但降低了女儿的代际流动。
