| Popis: | ED EPS; This paper sets down the first comparative measurement of the extent and featuresof the intergenerational mobility of men in five countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. Two formerBritish colonies, Ghana and Uganda, stand out with the highest level of intergenerationalfluidity. Two former French Western colonies, Côte d'Ivoire and Guinea, come next, and thenMadagascar, whose large and long-lasting inequalities of opportunity make it a singular case.Intragenerational mobility within the life-cycle, internal migration patterns and educationaldevelopment features are examined. They provide stylized facts which are consistent withrobust differences in dualism and intergenerational rigidity that originate in long-term history. |
