While this mobility matrix itself can reveal many interesting aspects of income mobility, it is desirable to aggregate the information contained in this matrix into a single number. This is achieved by so-called mobility indices. One index that is particularly fruitful for the purposes of this paper is the Bartholomew Index8 . e. See Bartholomew (1973), p.

Yet these mobility indices cannot show the fates of certain groups within society that are of particular concern to scientists or policy makers. In particular, one might wonder how the unemployed fare in the economies considered here. How many of them stay unemployed for more than one year? To which income positions do they move once they have found a new job? Another subgroup of the population about which scientists and, especially, policy makers are concerned, is the group of the working poor.
