Résumé	The status attainment model, introduced by Peter Blau and Otis Dudley Duncan in The American Occupational Structure (1967), is a recursive path model that explains an individual's occupational status from their social origins and intervening achievements. In its basic form, father's education and father's occupation influence the respondent's education and first job, which in turn shape current occupational status. By decomposing the link between origins and destinations into direct and education-mediated indirect paths, it established that education is the principal channel through which advantage is transmitted across generations.	An occupational prestige scale ranks occupations by their general social standing as judged by the public. In the classic design, survey respondents rate a list of occupations on a scale from excellent to poor standing, and the average rating for each occupation, rescaled to 0–100, is its prestige score. These scores have proven remarkably stable over time and strikingly similar across very different societies, making prestige one of the most robust measures in stratification research and the empirical anchor for socioeconomic indexes.
