摘要:In this paper we seek to update findings relating to class mobility outcomes and processesin the Republic of Ireland employing data from the Living in Ireland Survey which was carried outin 1994. We also provide an evaluation of a measured variable model of the mobility process developedon an earlier data set. Our findings confirm that transformation of the class structure has beenassociated with substantial levels of social mobility. At the same time inequalities of opportunity asreflected in the underlying patterns of social fluidity remain substantial and are constant acrosscohorts. Gender differences are almost entirely a consequence of occupational segregation and thereis no evidence that the underlying processes of class disadvantage operate differently for men andwomen
