Abstract

The Danish Metropolit project was established in 1965. The main initiator of the project was Kaare Svalastoga, the first professor of sociology at the Institute of Sociology, University of Copenhagen. In the late 1950s, Svalastoga attempted to promote a collaborative project between researchers from Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden, the aim of which was to establish a prospective study covering early school age to early mid-life, which dealt with intergenerational mobility and differential life-chances in each of the four countries. Only boys were to be included since social mobility at that time was regarded to be most closely connected with the male breadwinner's occupation. In addition, deviant behaviour (one area of research interest) was assumed to be more prevalent in boys. The result of his effort was the establishment of a Danish and a Swedish cohort, the former called the Metropolit study. Details of the Swedish cohort are published in an accompanying cohort profile in this issue of the Journal.
