Daniel Bertaux : Career Mobility : a Critique of the Transversal Approach.
A critical analysis is made of the INSEE data on socio- occupational mobility, from 1959 to 1964, of a national sample of Frenchmen. Counter-mobility flows are separated from genuine social mobility flows. The latter ones then appear as restricted to a small number of well-defined channels (mostly the ones relating the positions of qualified worker to the positions of foreman, technician, or self-employed crafstman) which probably do not lead any further. Trying to evaluate the total socio-occupational mobility of a given cohort of Frenchmen throughout their life, one realizes that it cannot be done with this type of data because of its transversal nature. Hence the conclusion which calls for a radical breakaway from the « transversal paradigm » which dominates all contemporary empirical sociology. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
