Description
Summary:This paper, which presents a few of the results of a study of mobility in a Norwegian community, is conceived primarily as a contribution to a new method of analysis. By coding data relative to residence and occupation at regular intervals of age and using the same time span for establishment of cohorts, it is possible to separate the influence of factors related to age and time. We may thus compare persons of the same age at different points of time who are classified with respect to specific residential categories or engaged in specific occupations, thereby measuring the influence of time on mobility. By the same logic we may compare the proportion of persons of different ages at the same points of time, reflecting the influence of age.
