Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study is to explore a new class theory and class schema, to investigate the trends in structure of social mobility and class composition using longitudinal data analysis, and to conduct policy research on social stratification. We show the possibility and limitation of micro-class schema for analyzing contemporary Japan. Besides, we conclude the stability of inequality of opportunity between class origins, and find that it is more likely to affect the degree of inequality between classes by industrialization process rather than by policy factors such as welfare regime.
