Intergenerational Educational Mobility in Denmark and the United States Sociological Science published online (14 February 2018): DOI: 10.15195/v5.a5. Also: https://sociologicalscience.com/articles-v5-5-93/ Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sociological Science Keyword(s): Denmark, Danish; Educational Attainment; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Mobility Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. An overall finding in comparative mobility studies is that intergenerational mobility is greater in Scandinavia than in liberal welfare-state countries like the United States and United Kingdom. However, in a recent study, Landersø and Heckman (L & H) (2017) argue that intergenerational educational mobility in Denmark and the United States is remarkably similar. L & H's findings run contrary to widespread beliefs and have been echoed in academia and mass media on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In this article, we reanalyze educational mobility in Denmark and the United States using the same data sources as L & H. We apply several different methodological approaches from economics and sociology, and we consistently find that educational mobility is higher in Denmark than in the United States. |

Yes, Denmark Is a More Educationally Mobile Society than the United States: Rejoinder to Kristian Karlson Sociological Science published online (17 November 2021): DOI: 10.15195/v8.a18. Also: https://sociologicalscience.com/articles-v8-18-359/ Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sociological Science Keyword(s): Cross-national Analysis; Denmark, Danish; Educational Attainment; General Social Survey (GSS); Mobility Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In this rejoinder to Kristian Bernt Karlson (KBK), we maintain that there are substantial differences in intergenerational educational mobility between Denmark and the United States. In fact, when we include additional parental information from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) for the United States, as suggested by KBK, the gap between Denmark and the United States increases. To confirm our findings, we show that the same conclusion about markedly higher educational mobility in Denmark holds when data from the General Social Survey are substituted for the NLSY97. |
