“…These findings are encouraging to the degree that Catholic schools are still relevant for children of Catholic immigrants in spite of changes in American Catholicism, immigrant constituency and certain contingencies that distinguish old from new patterns of immigration. We know that human capital formation remains one of the most important characteristic necessary to bridge the labor gap in a segmented economy and that parish schools are effective sites for such formation, especially among underrepresented urban minorities (Stern, 2007;Hoffer, 2000;Bryk, Lee, & Holland, 1993;Lee & Smith, 1997;Coleman & Hoffer, 1987;Crosnoe, 2004;Coleman, 1987;Reed, 2008;Holzer & Nightengale, 2007;Robles, 2009;Brasington, 2010).…”

Education is a bridge enabling children of low-skilled immigrants to access higher tiered professions in a segmented labor force in order to experience socio-economic gains and social mobility. Historically, Catholic immigrants (Irish, Polish, Italian and German) have been served by the parish school which provided a basis for household integration and economic advancement in American society. This paper explores the relationship between the parish school as an agent of socialization and children of new Catholic Latino immigrants. Comparative historical analysis of old and new patterns of immigration serves to demonstrate how the mediating role of the parish school has changed. Qualitative analysis contributes to a theory of institutionally generated social capital which is operationalized by measures of communitarian socialization. Using data from the Consortium of Chicago School Research, I use ordered logit regression to measure the effect of high school socialization patterns on student’s pro-social outcomes. I find that contrary to national data, Catholic high schools in Chicago are enrolling higher percentages of Latinos, a majority of whom are children of immigrants. A school climate characterized by affective support and inspirational ideology are significantly related to pro-social outcomes, while intergenerational closure is not. These findings are important because the parish school has a legacy of contributing to conditions necessary for children of immigrants to experience upward mobility.

“…In other words, the authors suggest both the existence of poverty and middleincome traps and the possibility of leaving them for affluence. Brasington et al (2010) propose a theoretical model based on human capital accumulation and technological progress: they show that, if two regions have different levels of economies of agglomeration, with one stronger than the other in this respect, then the former will attract more human capital than the latter, which will therefore end in a (relative) poverty trap. The same paper proposes also an empirical test of the model, based on US data, which confirms the theoretical prediction showing that some areas are weaker attractors of human capital than others.…”

New evidence on the relationships between economic freedoms and poverty traps is provided. Methodologically, a new way to classify countries into clusters is used, which stresses the relative position of economies with respect to each other. The paper investigates whether economic freedoms have any impact on shifts from one cluster to another, towards either better or worse situations. Moreover, it analyzes the contribution of economic freedoms to avoid falling into a poverty trap. The impacts of the five macro‐components of the index are studied separately. The results show that economic freedoms help economies to grow and to avoid poverty traps.

“…While economists can improve access to economic market opportunities, 38 institutional policy makers can minimize discrimination and global governance entities instigate intergenerational transfers, social scientists should focus on how to build societal trust in merit-based intergenerational mobility (Brasington, Kato & Semmler, 2010;Ghilarducci, 2005;Puaschunder, 2017a). Meritocracy as the psychological backbone of a fair society; together with hopeful trust in intertemporal improvement are key drivers of economic productivity, opening an innovative path to a longterm equitable society.…”

Globalization leveraged pressure on contemporary society. Today’s most pressing social dilemmas regarding climate change, overindebtedness and aging Western world populations demand rethinking capitalism. Understanding the bounds of capitalism to avoid ethical downfalls beyond the control of singular nation states infringing on intergenerational equity – the fairness to provide an at least as favorable standard of living to future generations as enjoyed today – has become a blatant demand. This article captures the human natural drive towards intergenerational fairness in order to retrieve information on how to implement intergenerational justice. Based on the idea of intergenerational equity as a natural behavioral law, the following paper theoretically outlines the current societal demand for eternal equity and proposes intergenerational justice theories. Intertemporal connectedness and interaction of overlapping generations enables intergenerational benefits transfers and burden sharing. Social mobility within networks comprised of different generations is enhanced through social upward movement opportunities. In addition, meritocracy helps alleviate intergenerational inequality. Describing intergenerational care as something natural that has been practiced ever since helps spearhead interdisciplinary endeavours to solve contemporary predicaments between overlapping generations. Exploring intergenerational opportunities is targeted at innovatively guiding the implementation of justice over time and between generations. Strengthening financial social responsibility, social welfare and environmental protection through future-oriented and socially responsible economic market approaches of capitalism in the 21st century is aimed at alleviating predictable economic, social and environmental crises to ensure a future sustainable humankind for this generation and the following.
