Summary:The paper deals with the changes in the size of occupational classes and the features of mobility regime in Italy since the late xix century. The analyses are based on both time series and cohort comparisons. They have been performed out using census data and information derived from a cross-section survey carried out in 1987 (Italian national mobility study) and a perspective panel study carried out from 1997 to 2005 (Italian households longitudinal survey). The data show that the dimensions of the self-employed strongly reduced over all the period and cohorts studied, while from the early Fifties to the mid Nineties of the xx century the size of the service class, the white collars, and the industrial working classes have been dramatically growing. But since the mid-Nineties the upgrading of the Italian occupational structure stopped. Moreover, since then also the industrial working classes have been reducing the number of their members, while, on the contrary, the service proletariat has been expanding. The analysis regarding relative intergenerational mobility proves that during the XX century the strength of the nets associations occurring between origins and destinations have been monotonically decreasing. However the increased fluidity of the Italian mobility regime did not succeed in impeding a remarkable reduction of the upwards mobility rates among the youngest cohorts, precisely because of the reduction of the service class and white collars positions available to them.
