| Results and Impact | Work by Fielding on 1971-81 and 1981-91 has demonstrated that the best prospects for occupational advancement in England and Wales occur in the 'escalator region' of South East England and also showed that those who had migrated to the South East achieved more rapid progress than that region's longer-term residents. This paper reports on the results of a study being carried out at the ESRC's Spatial Economics Research Centre with the aim of discovering how far Manchester and eight of England's other major agglomerations emulate this 'escalator' function. Like Fielding's work, this study is based on the linked census records in the ONS Longitudinal Study, but analyses the most recent intercensal period 1991-2001 and adopts a city-region approach. The rates of occupational transition observed for those who were resident in the London city region at both start and end of this period are compared with those of their equivalents in the other nine city regions, and then these 'stayer' rates are examined for the fortunes of those who entered and left each of the city regions during the decade ('in-movers' and 'out-movers'). It is shown that, on the primary measure of the odds of changing occupation from a White Collar Non-core job to a White Collar Core one, Manchester comes top of the non-London cases, Liverpool and Newcastle at the bottom. However, there is some variability in rankings (including for London) when standardising for gender and age. Moreover, there is much less variability between city regions for the movers. |

| Results and Impact | This seminar presents findings from a study concerning social inequalities in avoidable mortality using data from the ONS Longitudinal Study - a large cohort (N=360,000) from the 1971 Census (from England and Wales only) followed up for 35 years with underlying cause of death taken from matched death registration records. Avoidable mortality is defined as either preventable causes of death or causes of death amenable to medical intervention. These are operationalised using ICD8, ICD9 and ICD10 codes. Socio-economic position is measured by the former official classification Registrar General's Social Class (or Social Class by Occupation). The effects of social mobility are also examined. Cox proportional hazard regression models, adjusted for age and sex, are used to estimate hazard ratios. The findings show that substantial differences exist in the risk of avoidable mortality between social classes. However, "upwards" social mobility significantly reduces risk whereas "downwards" social mobility significantly increases risk. These findings are discussed in light of Link and Phelan's hypotheses linking social inequality to disease. |
