Research that refines measures of resources and well-being passed from parents to their children shows that current estimates of intergenerational mobility may be substantially overstated. The study from Nobel laureate James J. Heckman and colleagues at the University of Chicago and Rockwool Foundation in Denmark shows that parents’ and children’s economic outcomes are much more tightly linked than previously believed.

A fine-tuned measure of mobility The research team developed new measures of economic welfare across the lifespan, accounting for differences in life-cycle trajectories, uncertainty, and credit constraints. This improves upon traditional measures of social mobility. Studies of intergenerational mobility commonly rely on averages of the incomes of fathers and sons measured over the same age intervals. This paper shows that, for many reasons, the traditional approach gives an incomplete account of intergenerational mobility. “There is much more to resources than just average income over a limited age range. First, the life trajectories of individuals differ in ways that a simple average cannot capture. And uncertainty about what happens tomorrow or next year is also important,” according to Heckman, Henry Schultz Distinguished Service Professor in Economics and director of the Center for the Economics of Human Development at UChicago.
