Abstract
Using data from the 1973 National Survey of Households, the author examines temporal trends in intergenerational occupational mobility for males who began working between the years 1914 and 1973. Although high rates of urbanization and industrial growth characterized Brazilian society during this period, the evidence gathered indicates a clear temporal constancy in occupational mobility when the effects of shifts in the occupational distributions of origin and destination are verified. These results contradict a basic proposition of the so-called "thesis of industrialism'', by which industrial growth causes an increase in social fluidity.
