Class, Prestige and Status Attainment in Comparative Perspective

The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia

The class and the status constitute two separate dimensions of social stratification. The mechanisms of intergenerational transmission of social positions are different on these two dimensions. The differences resulting from various scales application in international com parison are discussed as well, with a special emphasis on the social position of farmers.
