Abstract

L'article examine le cadre conceptuel de la mobilité intergénérationnelle en regard de la relation entre les revenus des parents et ceux des enfants ainsi que le degré et les sources de la mobilité intergénérationnelle au Canada. La principale conclusion est la suivante : la société canadienne se caractérise par un degré relativement élevé de mobilité intergénérationnelle et, selon l'information disponible, les enfants qui grandissent dans une famille à faible revenu ne sont pas condamnés à toucher de faibles revenus à l'âge adulte. À cet égard, le Canada se compare avantageusement à bon nombre d'autres pays, la mobilité y étant en moyenne plus élevée qu'aux États-Unis et qu'au Royaume-Uni et similaire à celle observée dans certains des pays les mieux classés à ce chapitre. Les causes de ce phénomène se rapportent à l'accès à une éducation de grande qualité et aux investissements non monétaires de grande qualité dans les enfants. Cependant, aucun élément probant ne permet de lier le niveau du revenu familial et la nature de ces investissements.
