Research on the intergenerational inheritance of occupational attainment has been restricted to sons for a long time. This is remarkable, given the ubiquity of historical settings where female labor force participation was high. This study of civil marriage certificates in nineteenth-century West Flanders investigates a comprehensive sample covering the economic activities not only of fathers and sons but also of mothers and daughters. We find that daughters were more mobile than sons. Daughters, however, enjoyed less growth in terms of intergenerational mobility against the background of a slowly industrializing economy.

儿子和女儿的代际流动：来自 19 世纪西佛兰德的证据

长期以来，对职业成就代际遗传的研究仅限于儿子。鉴于女性劳动力参与率很高的历史环境无处不在，这是值得注意的。这项关于 19 世纪西佛兰德斯的民事结婚证书的研究调查了一个全面的样本，该样本不仅涵盖了父亲和儿子的经济活动，还涵盖了母亲和女儿的经济活动。我们发现女儿比儿子更灵活。然而，在缓慢工业化的经济背景下，女儿的代际流动性增长较少。
