Intergenerationele overdracht van status en sekse-typering van beroepen: De invloed van vader en moeder op hun dochters en zonen.

To what extent do the mother's and father's jobs and occupational sex-typing influence the status and sex-typing of their children's occupation at first entry into the labour market? Our database contains 5027 respondents of two merged Dutch surveys held between 1992 and 1995. The effect of the mother's occupational status on her daughter's is significant, but smaller than either the effect of father's status on his son's or his daughter's status. The mother's occupational sex-typing is related to her daughter's occupational sex-typing. The more female sex-typed the daughter's occupation, the lower her occupational status. In the same way the father's occupational sex-typing is related to his son's occupational sex-typing. While the extension of the classical status attainment models by the mother's occupation and occupational sex-typing leads to interesting and new coefficients, we conclude that the more elementary classical model is not invalidated by these new perspectives.
