Abstract
This article uses mobility data from Japan to (1) test the Feather-man -Jones-Hauser hypothesis that industrial societies share similar rats of intergenerational mobility and to (2) shed light on the debate about Japanese "exceptionalism." Japanese relative mibility rates show no systematically greater deviation from the postulated common pattern than do those of nine European nations. Regarding absolute mobility rates, however,an argument can be made for the distinctiveness of mobility patterns and processes of class formation and reproduction in Japan.
