Does Parents’ Position Persist? Multigenerational Persistence of Socio-Economic Status in Germany, 1600-1900
For the first time, a genealogical mass database is used to determine multigenerational socio-economic mobility of up to eight contiguous generations. The example of Germany (1600-1900) shows that in an AR(1) model, higher multigenerational stability of socio-economic status is measured the more generations are considered. Occupational information is used as an indicator of socio-economic status. In addition, a structural increase in mobility can be observed over the period under consideration. Different historical regions of Germany show slightly different results, which is an indication of a connection with the different economic or social development of parts of the country. Since the data was collected and linked by private individuals, the study also demonstrates an innovative approach to integrating citizen science into institutional scientific research
