Intergenerational mobility of education and occupation in Pakistan: a multinomial logistic analysis

Submitted by Munir on Tue, 01/25/2022 - 09:50
The present study uses a sample of 613 households and attempts to find intergenerational transmission through non-monetary factors such as education and occupations. The results from the logistic regression models are mixtures of opposites, hence more challenging to draw a factual finding from these estimates. For unskilled and managerial ranks of occupation, the findings support the hypothesis, but for skilled non-manual, it does not. The results for the other ranks turn out to be significant.

It explores several key factors in Arab society that have prevented the teaching of Interfaith Relations in universities.

From the curriculum of the different academic institutions and also from the literature, it is observed that mainstream Islamic economics is the imitation of the conventional economics and mainly neoclassical economics.
