  Abstract:  In this paper I discuss the socio-economic status attainment process in contemporary Romania. I link this process with a class analysis that reveals some mutations in the general model. This general model is based on Blau and Duncan’s work who rely on variables describing occupations end education for individuals and their fathers. My work is also a methodological contribution to the status attainment literature based on a new class schema fitted to explain the new realities from post-communist Romania. Using path analysis, I show that socio-economic background still has an important influence on the status attainment process of the individuals. Furthermore, the privileged and the middle classes follow a somehow different pattern from the deprived classes who reproduce their social status.
