    Intergenerational mobility: An assessment for Latin American countries
    (Elsevier, 2022) Doruk, Omer Tugsal; Pastore, Francesco; Yavuz, Hasan Bilgehan
    This paper aims to study the process of intergenerational income mobility in some Latin American economies (Brazil and Panama), which have been much neglected in the relevant literature. Like other countries in the area, Brazil and Panama have a stagnant economy coupled with high income inequal-ity. Our rich dataset allows us to provide the most reliable estimates of intergenerational mobility, after controlling for a number of additional control variables which were unavailable in previous studies. We provide estimates broken down for different genders, age groups, locations, education of fathers. Our re-sults are robust to different specifications and suggest that previous studies significantly overrated the extent of the intergenerational mobility in the countries considered. However, our figures are still com-patible with an extremely low degree of social mobility. Moreover, we show that behind social immobility there is also a sluggish process of structural change and an insufficiently progressive tax system.(c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Intergenerational occupational mobility in Latin American economies: An empirical approach
    (Elsevier, 2024) Doruk, Omer Tugsal; Pastore, Francesco; Yavuz, Hasan Bilgehan
    Identifying the determinants of intergenerational mobility is an important aim in the development literature. In this article, we examine intergenerational transmission for 6 neglected Latin American Economies (Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama and Puerto Rico). We use a multinomial logit model of the determinants of choosing a white-collar job for the child of a father working in farming as compared to a child whose father had a blue- or white-collar job. We find that, in the studied countries, intergenerational occupation transmission is mainly linked to low skilled jobs. Our analysis confirms the low degree of social mobility typical of Latin America, in turn contributing to explaining the low growth rate. Our findings help identify specific target groups - talented young women coming from the agricultural sector - for developing soft skills while at primary or low secondary school and work -related skills while at high secondary school or university.
