This article uses new linked full-count census data for Canada to document intergenerational occupational mobility from 1871 to 1901. We find significant differences among Canadian regions and language groups, with linguistic minorities experiencing notably lower rates of intergenerational mobility. International comparisons place Canada midway between other economies in the Americas and the most mobile European societies. Decompositions of overall mobility show that the Canadian experience shared the New World feature of high mobility from manual occupations, but also the Old World feature of greater persistence in white-collar jobs.

大西洋中部经济中的代际流动：加拿大，1871-1901 年

本文使用加拿大新的关联全面人口普查数据来记录 1871 年至 1901 年的代际职业流动性。我们发现加拿大地区和语言群体之间存在显着差异，语言少数群体的代际流动率明显较低。国际比较将加拿大置于美洲其他经济体和最具流动性的欧洲社会之间。整体流动性的分解表明，加拿大的经验具有体力劳动高流动性的新世界特征，以及白领工作更持久的旧世界特征。
