ABSTRACT

Sweden is often described as a country where intergenerational social mobility is high, but research also shows that social mobility decreases the closer one gets to the extreme top of the income distribution. We study the occupational mobility for the CEOs of Sweden’s 30 largest public firms since 1945. The study is based on a data set consisting of 229 former and current CEOs who were born between the late 1800s and 1970. We have information about paternal occupations for 185 (81%) of them. 60% grew up in Social Group I, which implies an overrepresentation for Social Group I by a factor of 9.7. Consequently, Social Groups II and III are underrepresented. However, almost four out of ten CEOs born in the 1940s came from Social Group III and toward the end of the period, the share coming from Social Group II roughly doubled to 35%.

摘要

瑞典通常被描述为一个代际社会流动性很高的国家,但研究还表明,越接近收入分配的极端顶端,社会流动性就越低。我们研究了自 1945 年以来瑞典 30 家最大上市公司 CEO 的职业流动。该研究基于由 229 位出生于 1800 年代末至 1970 年之间的前任和现任 CEO 组成的数据集。我们有关于 185 年父亲职业的信息(81%) 他们。60% 的人在社会组 I 中长大,这意味着社会组 I 的代表性高出 9.7 倍。因此,社会群体 II 和 III 的代表性不足。然而,在 1940 年代出生的 CEO 中,几乎有十分之四来自 Social Group III,而在该时期末,来自 Social Group II 的比例大约翻了一番,达到 35%。
