Sammanfattning	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.	The intergenerational elasticity of income (IGE) is the workhorse measure of economic mobility: the regression coefficient from regressing a child's adult log income on the parent's log income. It expresses the percentage by which a child's expected income rises for each one-percent increase in parental income, so a higher IGE means income advantages and disadvantages are more strongly transmitted across generations and society is less mobile.
