“…The empirical findings in studies by for instance Warren & Hauser (1997), Bol & Kalmijn (2016), Wolbers & Ultee (2013) are in line with such an interpretation. However, we also have to be careful in interpreting the absence of a direct G1-G3 association.…”

Until recently, research on intergenerational processes of social mobility has focused on two generational processes and paid little attention to the role of the grand-parental generation. An increasing number of studies have started to address this shortfall, but they report inconsistent findings. This may be due to design and measurement differences across studies and to substantive heterogeneity in the association. We use data from the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) to explore these two issues. First, as we have information on all four grandparents, and both parents, we were able to evaluate the different ways to model grandparental associations. We found that including information on both grandfathers provided the best fit, once controlling for parental education. Second, we investigated the moderating effects of parental education, family size, and the grandparents' being alive during the grandchild's early life and school years. Having higher educated grandfathers is associated with higher educational outcomes for grandchildren, net of parental education and wealth. Moreover, having two highly educated grandfathers shows a stronger association than just one. We found no evidence for the interactions we tested making it unclear what the mechanisms underlying the association are. Future work to identify the mechanisms may be able to shed light on the actual role that grandparents play. findings so far have, however, been mixed, with some suggesting independent associations of grandparental social class or education with grandchildren's outcomes after taking into account the socioeconomic status of the parents (

“…To stringently test this hypothesis, social stratification and mobility research with a focus on three generations is necessary (Mare 2011 ). In the Netherlands, a first step into this direction has been made recently (Wolbers and Ultee 2013 ).…”

Determinants of Intergenerational Downward Mobility in the Netherlands

Several studies have shown that Dutch society has become more open in the last few decades as a result of increasing opportunities for upward social mobility. However, recently it has been observed that the likelihood of downward social mobility has increased for the youngest (male) birth cohorts in the Netherlands. Despite this recent finding, social stratification research has paid little attention to test explanations of downward mobility. This article tries to fill in this knowledge gap by testing three theoretical perspectives that aim to explain intergenerational downward occupational mobility of individuals. In addition, we examine historical developments to study whether the role of these explanations have changed over time. To test the predictive validity of these perspectives, we use data from the Family Survey Dutch Population 2009 (N = 1423). The empirical results, first of all, indicate that individuals who were born in younger birth cohorts are more likely to experience downward occupational mobility than individuals, who were born in older cohorts. We thus replicate earlier findings for the Netherlands. Secondly, we find that cognitive skills and, especially, educational attainment provide individuals significant protection against downward mobility. These findings are mainly in line with the meritocratic perspective. Thirdly, the results reveal that the role of the presumed explanations of downward mobility has not changed over time.

“…Om deze hypothese te toetsen is onderzoek naar drie generaties noodzakelijk. Een eerste aanzet daartoe is in Nederland zeer recentelijk gegeven (Wolbers & Ultee, 2013 Om de robuustheid van de bevindingen na te gaan hebben we enkele additionele modellen geschat. In de eerste plaats hebben we bekeken of we de gevonden resultaten konden repliceren wanneer we niet controleren voor bodem-en plafondeffecten via de beroepstatus van de vader.…”
