“…Second, the IHDS contain data on actual years of schooling rather than levels of schooling completed which is generally reported in NSS data. 9 This avoids the discontinuities in schooling distribution as a result of the imputation of years of schooling from the categorical variable containing level of schooling completed.…”

Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. A revised version may be available directly from the author. An important constraint in studying intergenerational education mobility for India is the lack of data that contain information about parents' education for the entire adult population. This paper employs a novel strategy to create a unique father-son matched data that is representative of the entire adult male population in India. Using this father-son matched data, we study the extent of intergenerational mobility in educational attainment in India since 1940s and provide an estimate of how India ranks among other nations. We also document this mobility across social groups, and states in India. Finally, we investigate the evolution of mobility in educational attainment across the two generations and whether this trend differs across social groups and state boundaries. We find that there have been significant improvements in educational mobility across generations in India, at the aggregate level, across social groups, and across states. Although most of the Indian states have made significant progress over time, in terms of improved mobility, there remains significant variation across states with some states faring worse than the others.

It has been observed that people are less prone to invest in the stock markets and this effect is more prominent in developing countries like Pakistan. It's a common observation that people in Pakistan are more reluctant to buy the stocks of companies rather they think that it's better to invest in the real estate, start a business, deposit in bank saving accounts, or to buy gold. The purpose of conducting this study is to find the reasons behind this discouraged stockholdings in general public. A huge amount of literature had been reviewed to get a clear view of this issue in different countries and a questionnaire had been designed to get primary data from the local respondents to know their views about this limited stockholdings. It has been found that many demographic characteristics like age, gender, occupation, education and income have impact on the stockholdings. Awareness, financial literacy, social interaction, informational cost, participation cost and entry cost have also found to have an impact on the proportion of stockholdings. It is clear from the analysis that 65% of the respondents have never bought stocks. Several reasons have been highlighted for this limited stockholdings pattern among the individuals such as no money, lack of awareness and information about stock markets or investment in any other form.
