Abstract

In this chapter we investigate trends in social class intergenerational mobility in Spain. The key question we address is whether the association between Spaniards’ class position and that of their family of origin decreased during the course of the twentieth century, and if so, by how much and when? In particular, we investigate the role played by educational expansion in shaping long-term trends in social class mobility among men and women. The case of Spain is particularly interesting given its late industrialization, transition to democracy, and educational expansion from the post–Civil War period to the economic boom of the 2000s
