Does intergenerational occupational mobility impact health and well-being net of occupational origins and destinations? Are the net effects of mobility homogeneous across demographic subgroups? Using data from High School and Beyond cohort (HS&B:80) and two mobility effect models (Luo's Mobility Contrast Model and Sobel's Diagonal Reference Model), we find no evidence of mobility effects on physical (i.e., hypertension, diabetes), mental (i.e., depression, loneliness), self-rated global, or cognitive health in mid-life at the population level. However, we find heterogeneity in mobility effects across gender and racial subgroups. The effects of origin and destination statuses vary across health outcomes, and the (dis)advantages associated with origin status are sometimes fully offset by those of destination status for intergenerationally mobile individuals.
代际职业流动对健康和幸福的影响是否独立于职业出身和职业归宿？流动的净效应在不同人口亚组中是否具有同质性？利用“高中及以后”队列（HS&B:80）的数据和两种流动效应模型（罗的流动对比模型和索贝尔的对角参考模型），我们发现在人口层面上，没有证据表明流动对中年人的身体（即高血压、糖尿病）、心理（即抑郁、孤独）、自我评定的整体健康或认知健康有影响。然而，我们发现流动效应在性别和种族亚组中存在异质性。出身和归宿地位的影响因健康结果而异，对于代际流动的个体，与出身地位相关的（不利）因素有时会被归宿地位的（有利）因素完全抵消。
