Overview

A novel scale measures earnings potential in occupations, revealing correlations across nations and implications for social mobility.

Key Points

  • Occupational earning potential provides a new metric for understanding social stratification based on earnings.
  • The common scale demonstrates high correlation over time and across countries, supporting its validity.
  • National measures of earnings potential show consistent patterns related to education and social mobility.
  • This approach offers a straightforward indicator of economic advantage that enhances interpretation of occupational hierarchy.
