论文摘要
在这项研究中,我们得出了一种封闭形式的表达,以测量由我们的用例激励的网络中的向量分类,该网络是观察社会中社会流动性的模式。基于经济学文献中有关社会流动性的现有作品以及社会学文献中的社会繁殖,我们激发了职业网络结构的构建,以观察流动性模式。基于现有文献,在这种结构上,我们将流动性定义为由性别,地理或社会群体等类别的代表所归因的职业的分类性。我们比较了我们的向量分类度量和在印度背景下平均标量分类性的结果,并依靠NSSO第68轮就业和失业。我们的发现表明,我们的向量分类度量指示的趋势与平均标量分类指数所指示的趋势非常相似。我们讨论这项工作的一些含义,并提出未来的方向。
In this study we arrive at a closed form expression for measuring vector assortativity in networks motivated by our use-case which is to observe patterns of social mobility in a society. Based on existing works on social mobility within economics literature, and social reproduction within sociology literature, we motivate the construction of an occupational network structure to observe mobility patterns. Basing on existing literature, over this structure, we define mobility as assortativity of occupations attributed by the representation of categories such as gender, geography or social groups. We compare the results from our vector assortativity measure and averaged scalar assortativity in the Indian context, relying on NSSO 68th round on employment and unemployment. Our findings indicate that the trends indicated by our vector assortativity measure is very similar to what is indicated by the averaged scalar assortativity index. We discuss some implications of this work and suggest future directions.
