摘要:The aim of this paper is to integrate some of the contributions of studies on social mobility and family dynamics in order to explain the transition to residential independence in Spain. The explanatory model focuses, on the one hand, on Easterlin’s work on the conflicts between aspirations and resources and, on the other hand, on some key assumptions of theories of the inequality of educational opportunities (Boudon; Breen). One of the hypotheses implied by this explanatory model is that individuals will leave parental home not before they have achieved a socio-economic position at least similar to that of the their family of origins. This hypothesis has been tested by means of two analyses. First, I compare the youth socio-economic position with that of their parents and study the relationship between the aggregate rate of social mobility and the median age of emancipation by cohort. Second, by means of an event history analysis, I investigate how the experience of social mobility affects the likelihood of the transition to residential independence at the individual level. I use data from the Socio-demographic Survey and Labour Force Surveys for different years.
