Abstract
Based on nationally representative data from the German Socio-Economic Panel SOEP the Panel Study of Income Dynamics PSID and the British Household Panel Survey BHPS we analyze the intergenerational transmission of economic and social dis- advantages in Germany the United States and Great Britain We test with the hypotheses that the extent and the determinants of intergenerational income mobility and the relative risk of poverty differ with respect to the existing welfare state regime family role patterns and social policy design The empirical results indicate a higher intergenerational income elasticity in the United States than in Germany and Great Britain and country differences concerning the influence of individual and parental socio-economic characteristics and social exclusion attributes on intergenerational income mobility and the relative risk of poverty
