Intergenerational Occupational Mobility by Migratory Origin in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area data from 2021 and 2023 surveys analyzes patterns of intergenerational social mobility by family migratory origin. The dataset, created by Pablo Dalle and last updated in May 2026, applies multinomial logistic regression and social network analysis to compare class attainment among descendants of European, internal, and Latin American migrants. Results show cumulative disadvantages for subaltern ethnic groups but slightly greater short-range upward mobility for children of Latin American immigrants.

Use Cases

• Modeling class attainment probabilities based on migratory origin and class background.
• Analyzing gendered occupational trajectories for upward mobility mentioned in the description.
• Identifying occupational 'springboards' and 'magnets' for class reproduction via social network analysis.
• Comparing mobility outcomes between descendants of European immigrants and those of internal or Latin American origin.

Strengths

• Data is pooled from two recent probabilistic surveys conducted in 2021 and 2023.
• Analysis includes multinomial logistic regression and social network analysis (SNA) for micro-level examination.
• License is CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 1.6 MB file size suggests a small dataset, potentially limiting statistical power.
