“…We should note, however, that the intergenerational economic mobility in this study focuses on mobility between mothers and young adult children. Even though a large body of previous research has studied intergenerational mobility, these studies have mainly addressed mobility based on relations between fathers and children (Aaronson & Mazumder, 2008; Black & Devereux, 2011; Bourdieu et al, 2019). As more women increasingly participate in the labor market and their influence in the economy increases (Iversen & Rosenbluth, 2005), a new perspective is necessary to explore intergenerational economic mobility, considering relations between mothers and children rather than only fathers and children.…”

Objectives This study focuses on the impact of race and ethnicity on intergenerational mobility between mothers and children. Background Most studies have examined intergenerational mobility between fathers and their children. Racial and ethnic disparities might explain the high rates of intergenerational inequality in mobility. Methods The current study used data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 for Children and Young Adults. The two data sets were merged based on mother and child's identification number. The final sample consisted of 1,245 non‐Black/non‐Hispanic, 740 Black, and 538 Hispanic dyads. Multiple linear regression and logistic regression analyses were conducted. Results There are ethnic and racial disparities in net worth and poverty among mothers. Black and Hispanic mothers were less likely to accumulate net worth compared with non‐Black/non‐Hispanic mothers, and they were also at greater risk of being in poverty compared with non‐Black/non‐Hispanic mothers. For intergenerational economic mobility, net worth and not living in poverty across mothers were associated with higher income among young adult children. Black race moderated the relationship between maternal net worth and young adult children's income. Conclusion A new perspective is necessary to explore intergenerational economic mobility, considering relations between mothers and children rather than fathers and children. Implications Eliminating discrimination in the labor market is critical to addressing racial and ethnic disparities in economic resources. Service programs to help Black women with children to save money or increase their job opportunities should be in place to improve their potential for upward economic mobility across generations.

Highlights• We show there is a strong intergenerational relationship between parent and offspring wealth: with in the region of 35% of wealth differences in the parent generation pass onto their offspring.• We document the importance of housing and pension wealth across different cohorts in Great Britain. Importantly, from an intergenerational perspective we find there is an important distinction between not having and having such sources of wealth and conditional on having, the level.• The patterns of intergenerational wealth persistence is changing rapidly: wealth inequalities by family origin are widening in Great Britain in excess of 1 per cent every two years. The magnitude of this change is simply staggering and has profound implications for living standards inequalities in the future.• Younger cohorts born 1968 onwards have higher levels of cross-generational persistence in wealth than those aged in their 60s. Moreover, evidence suggests there is far higher wealth persistence than for people who were at the same age just 6 years previously. We predict a IWE of 0.44 for those in their 30s in 2018 compared to 0.3 for those in their 60s in 2012. An extremely dramatic shift. •We show that this is heavily driven through the way it is less common to observe individuals from typical family backgrounds to feature higher up the wealth distribution in the younger cohorts. By contrast the situation at the bottom of the wealth distribution is not changing very rapidly. hy does this matter?Progress 8 is used to hold schools to account and to support parental school choice. Consequently, the design and communication of Progress 8 has realworld consequences for schools and students. Why does this matter?Our results show that younger cohorts are likely to exhibit far higher levels of wealth inequality at retirement, compared to those observed today. The rate at which wealth transmission is rising is staggering -more than 1.2 percentage points every two years later a person is born, this has profound implications for current and future living standards.

“…It is considered important per se that individuals and any collective have access to occupational mobility, as societies that impose fixed or set occupations and positions at birth and are transmitted to the next generation through rigid schemes have few possibilities for innovation and fulfilment (Bourdieu et al, 2006). Indian experience in this regard is not very graceful (Azam, 2013; Iversen et al, 2017; Reddy, 2015).…”

Urban informal economy and vulnerabilities of domestic waste-pickers: A case of Chandigarh, India

In urban informal economies, waste-pickers increasingly face threat to their livelihoods due to the rapid emergence of formal systems of waste collection and lack of adequate public policies for their welfare. In this context, the study explores livelihood conditions of domestic waste-pickers and their occupational and educational mobility in Chandigarh, which is often referred as one of most well-planned cities of India. Using a semi-structured schedule, a field-based survey of the waste-pickers brings out that waste-pickers are the migrant workers from adjoining states and work as waste-pickers mainly due to non-availability of alternative employment opportunities. Employment in waste-picking is characterized by informal service charge fixation purely through interaction between house-owners and waste-pickers, where their low bargaining power leads to a surprisingly low level of income with significant variations due to gender. Child labour, even though disguised, also tends to exist. The study reveals unsafe working conditions, awful health conditions and unpleasant living conditions of the waste-pickers along with trivial upward educational mobility and no upward occupational mobility. The analysis presents a classic case of failure of both market and state in delivering optimum economic welfare to waste-pickers even in case of well-planned and highly urbanized city such as Chandigarh of India and demands immediate public policy intervention.
