Temporary Blemishes or Lifelong Scars? Cohort fluctuations in Education and Stratification
in France and United-States (1980-2005)
Louis Chauvel Pr at Sciences Po Paris

My aims
1. Theory: Cohorts, Hysteresis & Resilience
2. Methodology: from the standard Age-Period-Cohort models to the assessment of resilience
3. Substance: diffusion of diploma and occupational prestige/class in France and the US
4. Results: intensity of cohort fluctuations and intensity of resilience
5. Discussion: US and France : two different regimes of diffusion of education and of status attainment

Theory of social generations (Karl Mannheim)
Cohort and social change (Norman Ryder)
The methodology of APC analysis (Yang Yang)
Examples: * suicide in France * consumption in China* political participation * etc. , etc. , etc.

1. Th: The importance of cohort analysis

Socialization versus individual and collective history
• Life course and socialization• Primary and secondary socialization• The « transitionnal socialization »
• Long term impact of the « transitionnal socialization » : « scar effect »
• History and the constitution of a Generationengeist (spirit of generations) and of a Generationenlage (situation of generation)
Primary socialization
Until the end of mandatory secondary education (?)
Transitionnal socialization
Secondary socialization
« adulthood »

BUT ! How to distinguish durable scarring effects and fads ???
Hysteresis = stability versus Resilience = resorption of scars

The test of hysteresis
http://www.louischauvel.org/apchexem.htm
Examples there :
h<0 => “resilience”: decreasing cohort fluctuations over life course. h=0 => “hysteresis”: stability of cohort effect over life courseh>0 => “cohort Matthew effect”: increasing cohort fluctuations

3. Substance: diffusion of diploma and occupational prestige/class in France and the US
Diploma diffusion / overeducation (Freeman 1975) / “inflation of diploma” (Marie Duru Bellat, 2005) Mismatches between number of young graduates and social positions as professionals Myth or reality?
The United States file
The file is a 1975-2008 United States Current population survey. There is no intersection with the previous file. The size of the extract containing population between age 20 and 64 is n= 1.285.367. It is an extract from IPUMS-CPS Minnesota site.
The French file
The French file is similar: a « Enquête Emploi » (1975-2008) cumulative file (size of the extract containing people between age 20 and 64 is n=942 550).

5. Discussion: France (Mediterranean europe) and the problem of youth
Differences in Welfare and educational regimes
In France http://www.louischauvel.org/frenchpolcultsoc.pdf Lack of integration of educated young workers in France Risk of “déclassement social” Problem of matching between education and real positions
In the U.S. “that’s OK” Future concerns
