OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
TOWARDS OPEN SOCIETIES: CHANGES IN CAREER MOBILITY DURING MODERNIZATION
According to modernization theory processes such as educational expansion, industrialization, urbanization, and improvement of means of transport and communication lead to a shift from ascription to achievement. This hypothesis has mainly been tested for intergenerational mobility and marriage mobility. In this presentation I will give a short overview of the results with respect to these two types of mobility and then continue with presenting new results on changes in career mobility during modernization. The empirical example will be the Netherlands during the 19th century.
