title: [Social mobility in France, 1953-1970:  a new look].
abstract: The authors attempt to extend Thelot's analysis of social mobility in France between 1953 and 1970.  In particular, they examine "whether observed  changes in mobility rates are entirely attributable to 'structural' influences.  [They conclude] that while (as Thelot has suggested) the evolution of the occupational structure has been of major importance in altering the amount and pattern of mobility, changes of a systematic kind are none the less  still evident when mobility is assessed independently of all structural effects."  Data are from two surveys conducted by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies  (SUMMARY IN  ENG, GER, RUS,)
