The 'traditional' view, in both educational and labour-market policy, of the transition from education to employment centres on the school-leaving decision - in other words, on a particular point in time when the individual concerned decides to leave full-time education and enter the labour market.

In this paper we examine the concept of intergenerational mobility in earnings and in lifetime or 'permanent' status, and discuss its measurement using regression and quantile transition matrix approaches.

This paper estimates the impact of schooling on the wages of men.
