DIFFERENTIAL FERTILITY, UNWANTED FERTILITY, AND RACIAL TRENDS IN OCCUPATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT.

This paper estimates the effects on future occupational achievement and mobility levels of maintaining current class differences in fertility. Separate computations are made for the white and non-white populations, under the assumption that both groups are henceforth subject to the mobility regime o...

      ab: This paper estimates the effects on future occupational achievement and mobility levels of maintaining current class differences in fertility. Separate computations are made for the white and non-white populations, under the assumption that both groups are henceforth subject to the mobility regime of all men recorded in the 1962 Current Population Survey. Because fertility differentials are larger in the non-white population, maintaining them has a greater impact on this group. Differential fertility reduces the proportion of non-white men in the top three occupational groups by 10-11% in the second generation and beyond, and raises the. proportion in the bottom three groups by 21-23%. Eliminating unwanted fertility from recorded class differences largely removes the effect of differential fertility on occupational distributions.
