Social Mobility of Men and Women in Contemporary Italy

This working paper of the Dipartimento di Politica Sociale of the University of Trento is a slightly modified version of a paper we presented in September 1989 in Antwerpen at the congress on Gender and class. A considerably shortened version, with less technical detail and fewer tables, has appeared in Italian in Polis IV: 1: 1990. The longer version in English is meant to document our analyses in more detail than is normally possible within the compass of an article in a scientific journal, moreover we hope it will be useful to those of our colleagues who do not read Italian but who may be interested in the topic dealt with.
