Clark, Damon; Fahr, Rene - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2002

Cross-generation correlations of union status for young people in Britain
Blanden, Jo; Machin, Stephen - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2003
This paper investigates whether young people whose fathers are union members are themselves more likely to join a union. We find that young people with unionized fathers are twice as likely to be unionized as those with non-union fathers and that this rises to three times higher for those whose...
