Междугенерационната социална мобилност и промените на социалногруповата структура в периода 1967—1990 г
The Intergenerational Social Mobility and the Social-Group Structure Changes during 1967—1990

Summary/Abstract: In Bulgarian sociology the analyses of social mobility through the prism of social inequality are rather an exception. That is why the available empirical data on the subject should be utilized to the utmost degree so that the inequality aspects of the Bulgarian social structure in the totalitarian period could be described. For this purpose the changes in the type of the social structure, as well as the openness of the different macrosocial groups and the mobility of the social structure as a whole are studied in the article through a comparative analysis of the processes of intergeneration mobility in four points of time: in the years of 1967, 1977, 1986 and 1990. Here are the main conclusions regarding the abovementioned dynamic. Mobility is most intensive at the beginning of the period under consideration but with the further establishment of socialism the intensity of the process decreases. Another major conclusion is that the dynamic of the global mobility is dependent mainly on the structural mobility and not on the circulatory one which remains stable. 0,85 for 1967, 0,70 for 1977, 0,53 for 1986 and 0,70 for 1990 are the indices of the openness of the whole structure throughout the period. The group of the private owners is the most open one for the period under consideration. The bluecollar and white collar workers come next in their degree of openness. The group of the intelligentsia is the most closed one. Regarding social inequality the 1986 social structure parameters are as a whole the most unfavourable ones for the period.
