Philippe Bénéton : On Social Mobility in France.
This article analyzes French intergenerational mobility on the basis of a 1970 survey by I.N.S.E.E. At the start, the author lists those factors which limit the extent of such an analysis: the dubiousness of statistics, postulates about the social hierarchy, the unsurmontable obstacles created by genetic differences, the difficulties of cutting society up into categories, the absence of an unquestioned frame of reference, the disparity between the observer's view and the subject's feelings. He then comes up with the following propositions. (1) Social opportunities are very unequally distributed according to the category from which a person originates. (2) The fact that so few children from the underprivileged classes have any opportunities for rising does not exclude the risk that many children from the upper categories run of falling. (3) Mobility can be perceived very differently as a function of social position. (4) The existence of very unequal opportunities does not exclude a thorough turnover in most social categories from one generation to the next. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
