概要	The uniform difference (UNIDIFF) model, equivalently the log-multiplicative layer effect model, compares the strength of origin–destination association across several mobility tables — countries, time periods, or birth cohorts. It assumes the tables share a common pattern of association ψ_ij but allows the overall strength of that pattern to differ by a single layer-specific multiplier φ_k. A φ_k above one means stronger origin effects (less fluidity) in that layer; below one means greater fluidity.	A social mobility table is a cross-classification of individuals by their social origin (typically a parent's class or occupation) and their own destination class, forming the empirical foundation of intergenerational mobility research. Analyzing it separates how much people move between classes, distinguishes movement forced by changing class sizes from genuine exchange, and isolates the underlying origin–destination association that measures the openness of a society.
