Sumario:This paper analyzes intergenerational social mobility mediated by education in comparative terms between Buenos Aires and Montevideo in the second half of the 20th century. We have used  the usual intergenerational social mobility techniques and introduced new developments for the region by exploring the different  effects on  the origin-destination relationship mediated by education such as the inequality of educational opportunities, the return of classes to education and the compositional effect of education. The results lead us to confirm the persistence of inequalities in both cities.
