Abstract

Este trabajo examina las diferencias de género en la movilidad intergeneracional. La movilidad se mide como la fuerza de asociación entre los recursos socioeconómicos de los padres y la posición socioeconómica de los hijos adultos. Además, el análisis examina los mecanismos de movilidad en la sociedad mexicana. Los resultados muestran que la asociación socioeconómica intergeneracional es más fuerte entre los hombres que entre las mujeres, es decir, las posibilidades de movilidad son más abiertas a las mujeres. Sin embargo, los resultados muestran un patrón de movilidad asimétrico por género. Entre los hombres, la reproducción intergeneracional de la ventaja económica es mucho más frecuente que la reproducción intergeneracional de la pobreza. Lo contrario pasa con las mujeres ?sus posibilidades de permanecer pobres, si vienen de un hogar desfavorecido, son superiores a sus posibilidades de mantener privilegios a través de las generaciones. La diferencia por género está totalmente impulsada por la transmisión directa de la ventaja a través de las generaciones, netos de la educación.
