Class, Prestige and Status Attainment in Comparative Perspective KRZYSZTOF ZAGÓRSKI* The Australian National Universty, Canberra, Australia ABSTRACT The paper examines, in a comparative perspective, the interferences between class and social status, measured in various ways, taking place in a process of status achievement. The class and the status constitute two separate dimensions of social stratification. The mechanisms of intergenerational transmission of social positions are different on these two dimensions. The differences resulting from various scales application in international com- parison are discussed as well, with a special emphasis on the social position of farmers. 1. Problems, data and methods THE FIRST AIM OF THIS PAPER is to bring class-related variables into the analysis of intergenerational status transmission, and to com- pare them with status stratification variables concerning occupations. The sec- ond aim of the paper is to compare the explanatory value of various prestige and socio-economic scales in a model of status attainment, referring both to in- dividual countries and to international comparisons. The analysis will prove that inclusion of categorical class-related variables into the explanatory model concerning occupational characteristics helps to explain different results ob- tained by application of different occupational scales. The data are taken from
