SUMMARY:How Teens’ Career Expectations Differ: Inequality in the UK and U
 SA
DESCRIPTION:Tue 5 May 2026\, 17:30-18:30 BST\nLocation: Moray House School 
 of Education and Sport\, Patterson's Land LG.34\, Edinburgh\nREGISTRATION 
 REQUIRED\nJoin Morah House for CEID Visiting Scholar Professor Soo-yong By
 un’s public lecture. Professor Byun is Professor of Education\, Demograp
 hy\, and Asian Studies at The Pennsylvania State University. He will be pr
 esenting his recent comparative work examining adolescents’ expected occ
 upational status in the UK and USA using data from the 2000-2018 Programme
  for International Student Assessment. A focus is given to gaps by socio-e
 conomic status (SES) to identify changes to inequality in each country ove
 r time.\nUsing the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) d
 ata from 2000-2018\, this study examined changes in U.S. adolescents’ ex
 pected occupational status\, the socioeconomic status (SES) gradient\, and
  distributional SES differentials\, and compared these trends with the Uni
 ted Kingdom. Guided by Turner’s (1960) distinction between contest and s
 ponsored mobility systems\, we found rising overall expectations in both c
 ountries between 2010 and 2018. When accounting for academic achievement\,
  SES gradients remained stable in both contexts. Distributional analyses r
 evealed persistent SES compression at the upper end in the United States a
 nd narrowing upper-end gaps in the United Kingdom. Cross-national differen
 ces in overall levels\, SES gradients\, and distributional patterns dimini
 shed over time. Together\, these findings underscore the contemporary rele
 vance of mobility regime theory.
