Item type:Publication, Studying Career Success—the Role of Resources and Norms for Occupational Status Attainment in The Netherlands, 1865–1940This article presents a study of the occupational careers of men and women born between 1850 and 1922. First, we test the claim that since the mid-19th century individuals increasingly had successful careers. Second, we test hypotheses on differential career success derived from resource theory as well as from a norms and societal expectations framework. Successful careers are defined as starting at a higher level of occupational status and as growing in status at a faster rate. We consider (i) the influence of time-constant as well as time-varying characteristics on individual careers; and (ii) whether these effects changed over time. The Historical Sample of the Netherlands provides multiple measurements of the occupational status for 1,407 men and 824 women. The results show that there is hardly any trend towards increasing career success. For men, resources played the most important role for career success (e.g. basic schooling, father’s class and being married), whereas for women the findings were more mixed. Over time, sons of skilled workers had less successful careers. This suggests that it came to a reshuffling of advantages in the labour market rather than an improvement of occupational chances for all social classes.journal articleBand:28Heft:2132 213 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Occupational career attainment during modernization. A study of Dutch men in 841 municipalities between 1865 and 1928This paper addresses the effects of modernization processes on occupational career attainment. We ask whether modernization processes increased the success of occupational careers, and whether the effect of social background varies by regional level of modernization. We analyse a unique data set with information about the careers of around 7000 men who were active in the labour market in the Netherlands between 1865 and 1928. Modernization processes are measured at the municipality level (e.g. presence of post office and train station, educational expansion). The results of cross-classified multilevel growth models show that in municipalities with more advanced modernization, men enjoy higher social status at the beginning of their career, but that their status grows more slowly over the course of their career. The effect of social background hardly varies in response to modernization processes. Our results indicate that regional modernization processes have had restricted impact on individual mobility outcomes.journal articleBand:58Heft:1167 246
