During a study in rural Bangladesh a simple method was developed to show how people's occupations had changed in the past 40-50 years. The 'grandfather graph' is a rough and ready technique that gave an approximate indication of how the occupational composition of the rural economy had changed over time. It could be also be used to measure aspects of economic, social, cultural or political behaviour.
