Abstract

This article examines intergenerational educational mobility among various ethnic and religious groups in Turkey. We focus on directional mobility and show that ethnic Kurds have significantly lower upward mobility than ethnic Turks, and Alevis observe marginally higher upward mobility relative to their Sunni counterparts. The region an individual is born into also makes a difference. Those who are born in the eastern part of the country exhibit lower mobility than those who are born in the west. There is a significant difference in mobility between men and women irrespective of their ethnic origin or religious affiliation as well.
