Peer reviewedDavis, Theodore J., Jr. – Urban Review, 1994
Data from the 1972-89 Cumulative General Social Survey (1970s black male sample=556, 1980s sample=767) demonstrate much upward and downward intergenerational educational mobility for black males. The educational attainment of black males is associated with age, father's education, and the size of their place of residence at age 16. (SLD)
