Social Mobility, Professional Prestige, Educational Attainment, Intragenerational MobilityAbstract
The basic aim of this paper is to develop and complete the existing literature about educational and occupational attainment as well as mobility in Spain. This is done focusing on three main strands. The first one deals with the effect of the number of siblings on the individuals’ educational attainment. The second part deals with the effects of family structure, confirming the ‘pathology of matriarchy’, ‘female versus male family head’ and the ‘stepparent vs. biological parent’ hypotheses. Finally, the intragenerational mobility processes are deeply studied shedding light on the ‘closure’, ‘structural dominance’ and ‘life-course’ patterns for the Spanish case.
