Americans born to low-income families are faring worse than the last generation in most major U.S. cities, a new analysis finds.
#Intergenerational #mobility
— the idea that you'll do better than your parents, your children will do better than you, and so on
— is core to the American dream, but is far from a guarantee.
A new analysis from the Census Bureau and Opportunity Insights, a research group at Harvard University, seeks to measure intergenerational mobility at the county level.
Researchers compared the average household income at age 27 for Americans born to low-income families in both 1978 and 1992 to get a localized picture of changing opportunities over time.
What they found: In 38 of the 50 biggest U.S. metro areas, Americans born to low-income families in 1992 were doing #worse at age 27 than those born in 1978 at that age.
Brownsville, Texas, had the biggest increase across generations: Those born in 1992 made $33,500 at age 27, compared to $31,400 for those born in 1978 (up 6.7%; adjusted to 2023 dollars).
Philadelphia had the biggest drop, with those born in 1992 making just $27,200 at age 27, compared to $31,200 for those born in 1978 (down 12.8%).
Between the lines: The geography of mobility has shifted dramatically, especially when breaking down the data by race.
"By 1992, upward mobility for low-income #white children in the #coasts and in the #Southwest fell markedly to rates on par with those observed in #Appalachia and other areas that historically offered the lowest chances of upward mobility," the researchers write.
"Conversely, for #Black children, upward mobility increased the most in the #Southeast and the #Midwest
— areas where outcomes had historically been poorest for Black Americans."
Yes, but: "Black children born in 1992 still had poorer prospects of rising up than white children in virtually every county in America, because initial Black-white disparities were so large."
The bottom line: Changes affecting one generation quickly affect the next,
the researchers say, and "thereby generate rapid changes in economic mobility."
"While this carries hope for how opportunity can improve, it also comes with some caution, as communities can experience declining opportunity in a similar timeframe."

I agree with you, Andrea. Seniors should be able to live in a way that is integrated into the community and different age groups.
I’m so excited that #Chateauguay is building a new complex which will serve seniors and people with special needs and include a daycare. There’ll even be a cafe / bistro and events room to welcome the public And I’m proud of #Quebec for encouraging this.

"The one thing we know about the #CimateCrisis is that it has incredibly long-term impacts", he says. "That's the core of the #intergenerational #climate problem: we've #colonised the future, we treat it as a dumping ground for ecological degradation, and technological risks, as if there was nobody there."

@kkarhan @notjustbikes Yes sprawling American #suburbs are a scam we're all paying for in multiple ways. #Intergenerational wealth lost. #Climate and #ecosystem degradation. Constant #war to enable #CheapOil. Loss of #community. Loss of #AffordableHousing.
And #cars are the vehicle that makes it all possible.
New paper out! Ester Rizzi (University of Louvain, Center for Demographic Research) and I studied #intergenerational ties and #COVID19 contagion among Europeans 50+ using the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) data. Check it out in The Journals of #Gerontology: Series B→https://doi.org/10.1093/geronb/gbac196 (1/6)
That said, while Gen X is perhaps a clear majority, there are decent numbers of people from every generation here. My hope is that #Mastodon will be a more genuinely #intergenerational space than the other platforms.
A new(ish) version of our paper Firms and the #Intergenerational Transmission of Labor Market Advantage is up on #Socarxiv: https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/mv3e9
We've added lots of stuff but what we worked particularly hard on is how #WeakTies are passed on from parent to child.
#introduction!
I'm a #sociologist, #demographer and #historian working on long-term change in #population #health. I'm interested in #healthinequalities, differences between #families and #intergenerational change, and #earlylife effects on health outcomes. I study #mortality, #morbidity, #reproductivehealth and #stature. I use historical register data as well as Swedish #registerdata. More on www.ingridvandijk.com!
RT @JHahnEU: The #EUBudget is by definition an expression of #intergenerational #solidarity. It needs to ensure that future generations can continue to build the #EU they want.
Great to share the stage with young #Europeans & hear their ideas about the #EUBudget. They are #NextGenerationEU!

Today is UN International Youth Day. The ETF supports the call for #intergenerational #solidarity to create a world for all ages. The ETF puts youth at the heart of its work: https://bit.ly/3zRHj8K
On the #InternationalYouthDay2022, I join the international community’s call for the facilitation of #intergenerational solidarity across all ages. I reiterate my support to bridging the forward-looking vision of young people with the wisdom and experience of older generations.
Tomorrow we celebrate #InternationalYouthDay!
#Intergenerational #action is needed to build a better world for all.
#Sustainable #inclusive mobility cannot be achieved without involving young people in decision-making processes.
