The measurement of a nonvanishing asymmetry $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\equiv}\frac{[\ensuremath{\Gamma}(s\overline{b})\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\Gamma}(\overline{s}b)]}{[\ensuremath{\Gamma}(s\overline{b})+\ensuremath{\Gamma}(\overline{s}b)]}$ would signal $\mathrm{CP}$ nonconservation in ${Z}^{0}$ decays. We study here this effect within the standard model. In the three-generation case, the $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ value comes out small because of the effective degeneracy of $u$ and $c$ quarks at these high energies. In the four-generation case, results are encouraging for the CERN ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ collider LEP: One could have a branching ratio of this flavor-changing decay to the flavor-conserving one of \ensuremath{\sim}${10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$ and reach $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ values near unity.
