Structural Change, Institutional Mediation, and Social Mobility in Advanced Capitalist Societies

这是一项研究重大技术和市场结构变化对个人职业和企业流动机会的影响的建议。它将通过对来自美国、德国、瑞典和荷兰的个人层面和社会层面的数据进行比较分析。在个人层面上，将使用离散时间LOGIT模型来研究跨越大约十年的纵向数据。随着美国和其他国家进入后工业时代，经济结构发生的重大变化与个人的生计和职业机会之间的联系仍未得到充分了解。这个项目将帮助我们在概念和经验层面上理解这些联系，通过极其复杂的检查劳动力市场的性质、福利国家的规定以及所研究的四个国家的其他特征如何影响社会变化如何影响个人的工作生活和职业机会。该项目的成果还具有重要的潜在政策意义，因为它们关系到个人福利和国家经济竞争力。

This is a proposal to examine the impact of major technological and market structure changes on individual occupational and firm mobility opportunities. It will be carried out through comparative analysis of both individual- level and society-level data from the United States, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands. At the individual level, longitudinal data extending over approximately a decade will be examined using a discrete-time logit model. The links between the major changes occurring in the structure of economies as America and other countries enter the post-industrial era and the livelihoods and career opportunities of individuals are still insufficiently understood. This project will help us understand these links at both a conceptual and empirical level through an extremely sophisticated examination of how the nature of the labor market, welfare state provisions, and other features of the four countries studied affect how societal changes reverberate into individual work lives and career opportunities. The results of this project have important potential policy significance as well through their bearing on individual welfare and national economic competitiveness.
