Abstract

This paper presents intragenerational trends in industrial
mobility rates of employees in Greek industry and analyses
variations of rates by means of individual’s socioeconomic features
and characteristics of their social and industrial environment
particularly.
Intragenerational mobility is restricted to inter industrial
movements and in this context the following will be studied:
(i) job changes during respondent’s life, (ii) intragenerational
occupational mobility during the period 1965-1974 and (iii)
reasons motivating respondents to change or stay in the same
job. To achieve these aims a sample of one thousand industrial
workers employed in one hundred establishments of the
Greater Athens area were extensively interviewed. The sampling
design was based on the principles of two stage random
sample (with the self weighing estimator).
