Originally published in 1980 at a time when the discipline of
sociology was still relatively young in Australia, The Inheritance
of Inequality is an important contribution to the study of social
mobility in Australia. The book is based on findings from a survey
of nearly 5,000 Australians who were interviewed about their family
backgrounds and occupational careers. In its scope and sample size,
the survey was unique among non-governmental Australian studies. It
went beyond the findings of earlier surveys, giving broader
understanding of social mobility and stratification. The book sets
out the processes by which Australians have found their place in
the world of work in the 20th Century. Factors tending to enhance
or frustrate attainment are identified and the degree to which
Australia is an egalitarian society is assessed.
