Résumé anglais Roger Girod : Sequential analysis of mobility. The question is when are most intergenerational mobility movements taking place? At first regular job step (that is as a direct product of adolescent socialization) or later? That question pertains to what may be called sequential analysis of mobility, a perspective dividing life cycle into several steps. On that basis, it is clear, for instance, that part of intragenerational mobility (moves after first job) increases intergenerational mobility, but that other career moves are diminishing the social distance between generations. Example: father non- manual, son's first job manual, son's job later non-manual. In such a case, job mobility is not a sign of social mobility. On the contrary the inherited status is probably strengthened by it. This kind of cases may be labelled « contra- mobility ». According to a Geneva survey dealing in particular with men aged 50 years and more, the majority of career moves are to be considered as contra-mobility. This survey is presented in the paper. It shows also that the share of first job mobility (difference between father's job and first job) in intergenerational mobility is by far greater than the contribution of further sequences. Comparisons between cohorts indicate that first job mobility is probably increasing as a function of modernization.
