The Educational Attainment and Intergenerational Mobility of Black Males: The 1970s and 1980s.

Davis, Theodore J., Jr.

Urban Review, v26 n2 p137-51 Mar 1994

Data from the 1972-89 Cumulative General Social Survey (1970s black male sample=556, 1980s sample=767) demonstrate much upward and downward intergenerational educational mobility for black males. The educational attainment of black males is associated with age, father's education, and the size of their place of residence at age 16. (SLD)
