A Schumpeter Hotel? Surname Status Persistence in Sweden 1880-2016
Författare
Summary, in English
persistence is almost as high in the modern Swedish welfare state as it was in preindustrial times. The status structure of surname groups converges only at a slow rate, with differences persisting over at least six generations. Modernization is not associated with lasting increases in surname mobility. As a group, families with an agricultural surname background (patronyms) experience a persistent disadvantage while noble and Roman surnames display a consistent
advantage. Hence, surname status persistence is not only an elite phenomenon, but present in all social classes.
