This study revisits and extends a classic question in sociology and tests three competing hypotheses about the effects of intergenerational educational mobility on cultural tastes. By means of diagonal reference models to data coming from nationally representative survey carried out in 2019, the study shows that mobile individuals come to resemble their nonmobile counterparts in their current educational level which confirms hypothesis of maximization. This is inconsistent with Bourdieu’s view that habitus is largely determined by primary socialization at parental home. The study also demonstrates that upwardly and downwardly mobile individuals switch musical tastes of both parental and current educational level.

The aim of this paper is to discuss intergenerational mobility in Poland. Main attention is given to subjective perception of social mobility. The author is interested in how individuals perceive, explain and assess their social position and trajectory, and thereby how dynamics of social structure is intertwined with personal experience. She discusses social mobility in terms of objective measures and categories, with particular focus on comparison between respondents’ social status and their fathers’ status, and thereafter compares it with subjective perception of upward or downward social mobility. The analysis is based on three waves of POLPAN survey (1988, 2013, 2018), an academic research project conducted by the Polish Academy of Sciences.

The paper focuses on intergenerational mobility and explores the role of social origin in ending up in various class locations. Latent class analysis was applied to mapping the class structure based on economic, cultural and social assets. Parental education and occupation are used to examine how social origin operates in accumulating the various forms of capital and in getting into different class positions. Out of the forms of capital, economic resources, high cultural capital and prestige of social contacts depend particularly on social origin; these are the main channels affecting mobility into the best class locations. If coming from low educated worker class background, one may get only into one of the bottom class locations, while members of the top class positions come from families where parents hold tertiary degree and have high occupational status.

The article looks at the existing approaches in the intergenerational mobility research, their axiological foundations, as well as cognitive and practical consequences. In the mainstream sociological debate, as well as wider public debate, intergenerational mobility is assumed to be an adequate indicator of open, democratic society based on the equal opportunities. Most of the research efforts have been focused on identifying main barriers of mobility and main drivers of social advancement. However, in-depth studies reveal the complexity of both individual mobility and structural social fluidity as the phenomena concealing the consequences of growing social polarization. The paper briefly maps the approaches applied in intergenerational mobility research with special focus on questions which still stay understudied in the Polish context.
