This paper aimed to assess the class reproduction theory in southern Punjab. The study used a multi- stagerandom sampling technique to select a representative sample of the population. At first stage, the researchers randomly selected 14 occupations from Pakistan Standard Occupation Classification (2015). The second stageused stratified random sampling technique. A stratum of each selected occupation was formed in each division (i.e.,Multan, Dera Ghazi Khan,and Bahawalpur) of southern Punjab.The researchers randomly interviewed 564 male respondents from each stratum of the region. The study explored that the dominant class of fathers significantly correlated with the dominant class of children as well as their high economic capital, highbrow cultural capital, and high social capital (p<.001, p<.05).The dominant class of respondents significantly correlated with their high economic capital (p<.001). The correlation among the capitals of the respondents showed that their high economic capital significantly determined highbrow cultural capital and high social capital (p<.001, p<.05). The study concluded the intergenerational perpetuation of the structure of inequality of southern Punjab. The study suggested that future researches should incorporate gender disparity of class reproduction . Keyword: class, cultural capital, economic capital, social capital, social reproduction Class reproduction refers to the perpetuation of unequal distribution of resources across generations. In Bourdieu’s theory, it refers to the intergenerational transmission of accumulated resources that ensures the perpetuation of acquired resources and social positions across generations (Bourdieu, 1984; Bourdieu & Passeron, 1990). In other words, social reproduction means maintaining or enhancing higher social positions and resources across generations.
