Résumé anglais Maurice Garnier and Lawrence Hazelrigg : The Extent of Occupational Mobility in France : some Estimates, with Cross-national Comparisons. In this preliminary report of re-analyses of data from the INSEE survey of 1964, we present estimates of aggregate and outflow rates of occupational mobility, rates of circulation net of structural effects, and correlations of son's with father's occupational rank among economically active French males born after 1917. Comparisons are made between the evidence for France approximately corresponding data from Australia, Italy, Japan, Sweden, and the USA. Recent studies that have depicted occupational stratification in France as exceptionally rigid or closed for an industrial society, we argue, have been too quick and indiscriminating in pronouncing that verdict. Although the several measures document variations among the six industrial societies, in general the rates and patterns of occupational mobility in France were not exceptionally divergent. Based on our preliminary analyses, we suspect that the most important differences between France and other industrial societies have pertained to aspects of the process of occupational attainment, rather than to volumes or rates of mobuity ; and even in that regard there is reason to believe that such differences have generally been small or moderate in degree.
