Last three decades evidences suggest that Iranian society has experienced structural changes and social crises: changes in population growth, large fluctuations in oil prices, oil exportation, and consequently oil revenues are some of the most features. No doubt some of these events are the common experience of all generations, while some others are specific to one or two generations. The different influences of diverse political and economic events according to the age and stage of life has caused that generations try different experiences of welfare state .This study investigates income mobility in Iran before and after the global financial crisis. For this purpose, pseudo-panel data are used. In order to combine the household budget sectional data of 2003 to 2013 a pseudo-panel data, the behavior of the natives followed for 11 years from 1936 to 1980. Results show during 2003 -2007 (before the global financial crisis), there is a convergence in income that is, the lower middle-income households will experience a faster growth than others and the difference between rich and poor is reduced over time. But during the period of 2008- 2013 (after the global financial crisis) there have been divergence in income. Income divergence means that over time the income differences between rich and poor is increasing. In this case, income mobility was high and inequality is perpetuated over time.
