Abstract: | This paper builds upon recent studies of social mobility and considers the relationship between social class origins and the attainment of top positions in business organizations and in central and local government administrations. Data comprise all persons between 25 and 50 years of age employed in these sectors in 1995. Elite status is defined in terms of binomial and multinomial logistic regression. There is very strong gross relationship between class origins and elite status in all three sectors. In public administration, there seems to be no direct effect of class. |
