| Summary: | Education is considered as a significant determinant of earnings inequality; however, there are sensible differences in the educational attainment for individuals. This paper examines absolute mobility between groups of educational levels and the persistency of inequality of opportunities in the economy of Iran. For this purpose, Households’ Survey Data over 1988 to 2011 are used to organize pseudo-panel data and to estimate nonlinear dynamics of population in Iran. Our results reveal that the inequality opportunity between generations with higher education is less than that of between generations with lower education.Also inequality is decreasing over time, but its speed is very low. |
