This systematic review examines 76 peer-reviewed studies that use Diagonal Reference Models (DRM) to assess the consequences of social mobility across three main thematic areas: health, well-being, and fertility (57 % of studies); political preferences (35 %); and cultural tastes (8 %). By analyzing these areas, the review identifies key theoretical frameworks, focusing on social position effects and mobility effects, and evaluates their alignment with empirical findings. For position effects, evidence suggests that destination status often outweighs origin status in shaping individual outcomes. For mobility effects, 58 % of studies either report non-significant results or do not explicitly examine mobility effects. Among the significant findings, the effects of mobility remain mixed and context-dependent. However, upward mobility generally benefits health and well-being, whereas downward mobility tends to have a detrimental effect. Recent studies have introduced methodological innovations such as mediation and counterfactual analyses. Still, key challenges remain. Subgroup analyses by gender and race/ethnicity are rare, findings are not always reported in a comparable way, and contextual factors are often missing. The review concludes that while DRM has helped clarify the role of social mobility in shaping individual outcomes, the field would benefit from greater transparency, more consistent reporting, and stronger attention to structural and demographic variation.
本系统综述检查了76项同行评议的研究,这些研究使用对角参考模型(DRM)来评估社会流动性在三个主要主题领域的后果:健康、福祉和生育率(57% %的研究);政治倾向(35% %);文化品味(8 %)。通过对这些领域的分析,本文确定了关键的理论框架,重点关注社会地位效应和流动性效应,并评估了它们与实证结果的一致性。就位置效应而言,有证据表明,在塑造个人结果方面,目的地地位往往大于原点地位。对于活动能力的影响,58% 的研究要么报告了不显著的结果,要么没有明确检查活动能力的影响。在重要的发现中,流动性的影响仍然是混合的,并且依赖于环境。然而,向上流动通常有利于健康和福祉,而向下流动往往有不利影响。最近的研究引入了方法创新,如调解和反事实分析。不过,关键挑战依然存在。性别和种族/民族的亚组分析很少,研究结果并不总是以可比的方式报告,而且背景因素经常缺失。报告的结论是,虽然DRM有助于明确社会流动性在塑造个人结果中的作用,但该领域将受益于更大的透明度、更一致的报告,以及对结构和人口变化的更大关注。

Equal opportunity policy and the reverse gender gap in academic achievement: Evidence from a quasi-experiment in Hong Kong 平等机会政策与学业成绩的反向性别差距:来自香港准实验的证据

What happens when education systems remove gender barriers? We examine this question through an educational reform in Hong Kong, where a gender quota system in secondary school allocation was replaced by a merit-based one. Using TIMSS data with a quasi-experimental design, we find the reform reversed male advantages in mathematics and science by reshaping school access—girls secured more seats in higher-quality schools while boys became overrepresented in lower-quality schools. These results reveal how gender quotas had artificially constrained girls’ academic potential. More importantly, they demonstrate that equal opportunity policies do not merely level the playing field— they unleash pre-existing female advantages that ultimately reverse traditional achievement gaps.
当教育系统消除性别障碍时会发生什么?我们通过香港的教育改革来研究这个问题,在香港,中学分配的性别配额制度被以成绩为基础的制度所取代。采用准实验设计的TIMSS数据,我们发现改革通过重塑入学机会扭转了男性在数学和科学方面的优势——女孩在高质量学校获得了更多的席位,而男孩在低质量学校的比例过高。这些结果揭示了性别配额是如何人为地限制了女孩的学业潜力。更重要的是,这些研究表明,机会均等政策不仅创造了公平的竞争环境,还释放了女性原有的优势,最终扭转了传统的成就差距。

Exploring pathways: How friends' anti-academic behavior contributes to the gender gap in language and math grades 探索途径:朋友的反学术行为如何导致语文和数学成绩的性别差距

This study investigates the role of friends in the establishment of the gender gap in grades in secondary education. Specifically, it explores to what extent and through what pathways the anti-academic behavior of friends in school affects the gender gap in grades for the national language and math. Hypotheses are tested with two waves of the CILS4EU data that contain information about students and their schools in Sweden, the Netherlands, England and Germany (n = 10,164). Multilevel mediation models show that girls receive considerably higher grades than boys for the national language and that boys have a small advantage in math. Gender gaps in grades are affected by friends’ anti-academic behavior. Boys’ friends more often engage in anti-academic behavior, and this directly negatively impacts grades, but also works indirectly as it stimulates students’ own anti-academic behavior which in turn is detrimental to grades.
本研究探讨了朋友在中等教育年级性别差距形成中的作用。具体来说,它探讨了学校里朋友的反学术行为在多大程度上以及通过什么途径影响了国家语言和数学成绩的性别差距。假设通过两波CILS4EU数据进行检验,这些数据包含瑞典、荷兰、英国和德国的学生及其学校的信息(n = 10,164)。多层中介模型显示,女孩在国家语言方面的成绩明显高于男孩,男孩在数学方面有一点优势。成绩上的性别差距受到朋友反学术行为的影响。男生的朋友往往会有反学术的行为,这直接对成绩产生负面影响,但也会间接地刺激学生自己的反学术行为,而这反过来又对成绩有害。

Trends in couples’ educational pairings and marital dissolution: Evidence from South Korea 夫妻教育配对与婚姻破裂的趋势:来自韩国的证据
IF 2.7 1区 社会学 Q1 SOCIOLOGY Pub Date : 2025-06-01 Epub Date: 2025-04-04 DOI: 10.1016/j.rssm.2025.101041

This study investigates how heterosexual married couples’ educational pairings – where the wife is more, less, or equally educated compared to her husband – relate to divorce risk and how these patterns have changed over time. While a growing body of research has documented these trends in Western societies, it remains uncertain whether similar patterns exist in non-Western contexts with more traditional gender norms. In addition, little research has differentiated between marriages where both spouses have high levels of education and those where both have low levels of education, as both types of marriages have been classified as educational homogamy. To address these gaps, this study analyzes marriage and divorce registration data to examine changes in couples’ educational pairings and marital dissolution in South Korea between the 1991 and 2018 marriage cohorts. The findings reveal that although female hypogamy used to be associated with a higher divorce risk than hypergamy, this gap has been narrowing and is nearly closed among those married in the 2010s. Moreover, the gap in divorce risk between college-educated and non-college-educated homogamous couples has been widening.
这项研究调查了异性恋夫妇的受教育程度——妻子的受教育程度比丈夫高、低或相同——与离婚风险之间的关系,以及这些模式是如何随着时间的推移而变化的。虽然越来越多的研究记录了西方社会的这些趋势,但仍不确定在非西方社会中是否存在更传统的性别规范。此外,很少有研究区分夫妻双方受教育程度高的婚姻和夫妻双方受教育程度低的婚姻,因为这两种婚姻都被归类为受教育程度高的同性婚姻。为了解决这些差距,本研究分析了婚姻和离婚登记数据,以检查1991年至2018年韩国婚姻队列中夫妻教育配对和婚姻解散的变化。研究结果显示,尽管女性的一夫多妻制曾经比一夫多妻制与更高的离婚风险相关,但这一差距正在缩小,在2010年代结婚的女性中几乎已经消失。此外,受过大学教育和没有受过大学教育的同性伴侣之间的离婚风险差距一直在扩大。

What happens to bright 5-year-olds from poor backgrounds? Longitudinal evidence from the Millennium Cohort Study 来自贫困家庭的聪明的5岁孩子会发生什么?千年队列研究的纵向证据
IF 2.7 1区 社会学 Q1 SOCIOLOGY Pub Date : 2025-06-01 Epub Date: 2025-03-11 DOI: 10.1016/j.rssm.2025.101038

High-achieving children from low-income families have perhaps the best opportunity to break through the glass ceiling and achieve upwards social mobility. Yet there have been relatively few studies investigating how key outcomes for this group develop throughout childhood, and how this compares to their equally able but more socio-economically advantaged peers. This paper draws upon Millenium Cohort Study data from the UK to provide new evidence on this issue. We find that the cognitive skills of bright 5-year-olds from low-income families keep pace with those of children from high-income families through to the end of primary school. However, the transition into secondary is a critical period, with high-achieving children from poor families experiencing a particularly sharp relative decline in their attitudes towards school, behaviour, mental health and academic achievement between age 11 and 14. The failure to fully capitalise on the early potential of this group is likely to be a key reason why the UK is failing to become a more socially fluid society.
低收入家庭中成绩优秀的儿童或许最有机会突破 "玻璃天花板",实现社会向上流动。然而,对这一群体在整个童年时期的主要成果如何发展,以及与能力相当但社会经济条件更优越的同龄人相比如何的研究却相对较少。本文利用英国千年队列研究(Millenium Cohort Study)的数据为这一问题提供了新的证据。我们发现,来自低收入家庭的 5 岁聪明儿童在小学毕业前的认知能力一直与来自高收入家庭的儿童保持同步。然而,升入中学是一个关键时期,来自贫困家庭的成绩优秀儿童在 11 至 14 岁期间,在对学校的态度、行为、心理健康和学业成绩方面的相对下降尤为明显。未能充分利用这一群体的早期潜力,很可能是英国未能成为一个社会流动性更强的社会的关键原因。

Stability and change in the academic qualifications of recent men and women college entrants 最近进入大学的男女学生学历的稳定性和变化
IF 2.7 1区 社会学 Q1 SOCIOLOGY Pub Date : 2025-06-01 Epub Date: 2025-04-04 DOI: 10.1016/j.rssm.2025.101043

In the span of only a few generations, women have made great strides in higher education, and now far outpace men in college enrollment and completion. Especially given that girls tend to have higher achievement across levels of education, some scholars and commentators have begun to raise questions about which men and women, in terms of academic qualifications, attend colleges in the U.S.—particularly elite colleges that are associated with the greatest economic and social returns. We assess these questions using data from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS-02) and the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS-09), two nationally representative datasets collected during this recent era of heightened college competitiveness. We find that men and women had roughly equal chances of attending top colleges given equal academic qualifications. Importantly, though, we observe large changes at the bottom of the academic hierarchy, with less-prepared men increasingly opting into two-year colleges and attending higher education at similar rates as comparably qualified women. Thus, while much commentary tends to focus on elite institutions, recent changes at non-elite institutions are much more consequential for broader educational trends. Implications for research on gender and educational inequality are discussed.
在短短几代人的时间里,女性在高等教育方面取得了长足的进步,现在在大学入学率和毕业率方面远远超过了男性。特别是考虑到女孩往往在各个教育层次都有更高的成就,一些学者和评论员开始提出这样的问题:在美国,哪些男性和女性在学术资格方面能上大学——尤其是那些与最大的经济和社会回报相关的精英大学。我们使用2002年教育纵向研究(ELS-02)和2009年高中纵向研究(HSLS-09)的数据来评估这些问题,这是在最近大学竞争力增强的时代收集的两个具有全国代表性的数据集。我们发现,在同等学历的情况下,男性和女性进入顶尖大学的机会大致相同。然而,重要的是,我们观察到在学术等级的底层发生了巨大的变化,越来越多准备不足的男性选择两年制大学,接受高等教育的比例与同等条件的女性相当。因此,尽管许多评论倾向于关注精英机构,但非精英机构最近的变化对更广泛的教育趋势的影响要大得多。讨论了性别和教育不平等研究的意义。

Class, subjective status, and turnout in Europe 阶级、主观地位和欧洲的投票率
IF 2.7 1区 社会学 Q1 SOCIOLOGY Pub Date : 2025-06-01 Epub Date: 2025-03-23 DOI: 10.1016/j.rssm.2025.101039

Inspired by Weber’s distinction between class and status, the paper explores the independent and joint role of social class and subjective social status in shaping electoral participation in contemporary European democracies. While social class has long been established as a predictor of political behaviour, less attention has been paid to the influence of subjective status, an individual’s self-assessed position within the social hierarchy. Drawing on nineteen waves of data from the International Social Survey Program from 2002 to 2021 across twenty-five European countries, this paper examines how social class and subjective status independently and jointly influence electoral participation. The findings indicate that while social class remains a significant determinant of electoral participation, subjective status offers further insight. Individuals with higher subjective status are more likely to vote, regardless of their social class. Moreover, within social classes, particularly the working class, participation rates are stratified by subjective status, with a notable gap between individuals with high and low subjective status. By employing Linear Probability Models with Country-Year Fixed Effects, the study accounts for cross-national differences and provides a robust analysis of electoral participation in Europe. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of political inequality, suggesting that subjective aspects of social stratification should be considered alongside traditional class-based analyses to fully grasp the factors influencing political participation in European democracies.
受韦伯区分阶级和地位的启发,本文探讨了社会阶级和主观社会地位在塑造当代欧洲民主国家选举参与中的独立和共同作用。虽然社会阶层长期以来一直被认为是政治行为的预测因素,但人们很少关注主观地位的影响,即个人在社会等级中自我评估的地位。利用国际社会调查项目2002年至2021年在25个欧洲国家的19波数据,本文研究了社会阶级和主观地位如何独立和共同影响选举参与。研究结果表明,虽然社会阶层仍然是选举参与的重要决定因素,但主观地位提供了进一步的见解。无论社会阶层如何,主观地位较高的人更有可能投票。此外,在社会阶层,特别是工人阶级内部,参与率根据主观地位分层,主观地位高和低的个人之间存在显著差距。通过采用具有国家-年份固定效应的线性概率模型,该研究解释了跨国差异,并提供了对欧洲选举参与的有力分析。这些结果有助于加深对政治不平等的理解,表明除了传统的基于阶级的分析外,还应考虑社会分层的主观方面,以充分掌握影响欧洲民主国家政治参与的因素。

Educational sorting in unions and subjective well-being in Europe: Gender differences and contextual variations 欧洲工会的教育分类与主观幸福感:性别差异和语境差异
IF 2.7 1区 社会学 Q1 SOCIOLOGY Pub Date : 2025-04-01 Epub Date: 2025-01-30 DOI: 10.1016/j.rssm.2025.101020

This study examines the associations between educational sorting—the intra-couple difference in education—and subjective well-being of heterosexual partners in Europe, independent of each partner’s education status. It extends the literature by exploring whether and how these associations vary across societies and normative climates. A sample of 180,733 respondents in marriage or cohabitation from 29 countries was selected from Rounds 1–10 (2002–2020) of the European Social Survey and analyzed using the Diagonal Mobility Models. Pooled analyses show that net of status effects, hypergamy (women partnering with more educated men) was associated with lower well-being for both genders, and men were more satisfied with life in hypogamous relationships (partnering with more educated women). These patterns varied across societies, illustrated, for instance, by a hypergamy advantage among men in Southern Europe and women in the Baltic states.

These findings provide unique insights into the diverse well-being outcomes of assortative mating between genders and across societies, shaped, in part, by societal norms.
本研究考察了欧洲异性恋伴侣的教育分类(夫妻之间的教育差异)与主观幸福感之间的关系,而不受每个伴侣的教育状况的影响。它通过探索这些关联是否以及如何在社会和规范气候中变化来扩展文献。从欧洲社会调查的第1-10轮(2002-2020)中选择了来自29个国家的180733名已婚或同居的受访者,并使用对角线流动性模型进行了分析。综合分析表明,在地位效应的影响下,一夫多妻制(女性与受教育程度更高的男性合作)与两性的幸福感都较低有关,而男性对低配偶关系(与受教育程度更高的女性合作)的生活更满意。这些模式在不同的社会中有所不同,例如,南欧男性和波罗的海国家女性的一夫多妻制优势就说明了这一点。值得注意的是,在这种伙伴关系不太规范的情况下,妇女在一夫多妻制中的福利劣势会加剧。这些发现为性别之间和社会之间的分类交配的不同福祉结果提供了独特的见解,部分受社会规范的影响。

Global value chains and racial inequality in the US labor market, 1979–2017 1979-2017年美国劳动力市场的全球价值链和种族不平等
IF 2.7 1区 社会学 Q1 SOCIOLOGY Pub Date : 2025-04-01 Epub Date: 2025-02-08 DOI: 10.1016/j.rssm.2025.101023

We examine how global value chains (GVCs) impact “between” and “within-race” US labor market inequalities. GVCs change the returns to occupations and human capital categories (economic effects), as well as the share of the population within these categories (compositional effects). US racism should interact with GVCs to produce racially disparate GVC effects. We employ variance function regression to examine between and within-race inequality simultaneously, and innovate on classical decompositions to quantify how much of the change in each can be attributed to racially disparate effects of GVCs. GVCs increase inequality within and between races. These effects are largest within races, where almost no racial differences are observed. Between races, racially disparate GVC effects were often inconsistent with contemporary theories of US racial inequality. Economic effects were always most beneficial for Asian Americans, and frequently more beneficial for African Americans and Latino/a workers than for Whites. Compositional effects were nearly always most beneficial for Asian Americans, and reduced between-race inequality in aggregate. Overall, then, GVCs increased between-race inequality because large occupational and skill income gaps persisted between races, because Asian American gains are net inequality increasing, and because absolute and/or relative (to White) gains by African American and Latino/a workers in some categories were too small to offset the absolute and/or relative gains of Asian Americans and Whites in others.
我们研究了全球价值链(GVCs)如何影响“种族之间”和“种族内部”的美国劳动力市场不平等。全球价值链改变了职业和人力资本类别的回报(经济效应),以及这些类别中的人口份额(构成效应)。美国种族主义应该与全球价值链相互作用,产生种族差异的全球价值链效应。我们采用方差函数回归同时检查种族之间和种族内部的不平等,并对经典分解进行创新,以量化每种变化中有多少可归因于全球价值链的种族差异影响。全球价值链加剧了种族内部和种族之间的不平等。这些影响在种族内部最大,几乎没有观察到种族差异。在种族之间,种族差异的全球价值链效应往往与美国种族不平等的当代理论不一致。经济效应总是对亚裔美国人最有利,而对非洲裔美国人和拉丁裔/白人工人往往比白人更有利。构成效应几乎总是对亚裔美国人最有利,总体上减少了种族间的不平等。总体而言,全球价值链增加了种族间的不平等,因为种族间持续存在巨大的职业和技能收入差距,因为亚裔美国人的收益正在增加净不平等,因为非洲裔美国人和拉丁裔/黑人工人在某些类别中的绝对和/或相对(相对于白人)收益太小,无法抵消亚裔美国人和白人在其他类别中的绝对和/或相对收益。

Ethnic conflict and workplace inequality: Hiring Arabs during conflict escalation in Israel, 1997–2015 种族冲突和工作场所不平等:1997-2015年以色列冲突升级期间雇佣阿拉伯人
IF 2.7 1区 社会学 Q1 SOCIOLOGY Pub Date : 2025-04-01 Epub Date: 2025-02-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.rssm.2025.101021

We use the case of Israel to analyze the relationship between ethnonationalist conflict and workplace inequalities, arguing that escalation of ethnic conflict in the political environment induces social closure behaviors within organizations geographically more proximate to the conflict. Combining data from Israeli population registers and the Global Terrorism Database we find that an increase in conflict, measured by non-state political violence occurring within the state of Israel, leads to a decrease in the likelihood of nearby organizations hiring Arab men and women. Importantly, these effects are typically stronger for women and are diminished in organizations that either depend on Arab labor or have a higher density of Arab workers at the top of the organization. Demonstrating that deepening ethnonationalist political conflicts shape workplace inequalities, this paper extends both the theory of racialized organizations and Relational Inequality Theory.
我们以以色列为例分析了民族主义冲突与工作场所不平等之间的关系,认为政治环境中民族冲突的升级会在地理上更接近冲突的组织内诱发社会封闭行为。结合以色列人口登记和全球恐怖主义数据库的数据,我们发现,以以色列国境内发生的非国家政治暴力来衡量的冲突增加,导致附近组织雇用阿拉伯男女的可能性降低。重要的是,这些影响通常对女性更强,而在依赖阿拉伯劳动力或在组织高层中阿拉伯工人密度更高的组织中,这些影响会减弱。为了证明日益加深的民族主义政治冲突塑造了工作场所的不平等,本文扩展了种族化组织理论和关系不平等理论。
