Summary/Abstract: In the present paper an analysis on intergenerational occupational mobility is presented based on data from a representative sample of the Greek population. Our main purpose is to trace the individuals’ transitions, in order to explore whether and to what extent the occupational status of one’s parents has an effect on one’s position in the labor market. The analysis is based on data drawn from the Statistics on Income and Living Conditions and the ad-hoc module on “Intergenerational Transmission of Poverty”, which were conducted in 2005 by the Hellenic Statistical Authority. Having estimated the transition probabilities among occupational categories the absolute and relative mobility rates of mobility are calculated. Furthermore, a synchronic cohort analysis was carried out to compare the mobility patterns of individuals who belong to different birth cohorts (1939-1979).
