Economic Mobility Project

Family/Household Composition

As average household size has decreased, family size and composition are important to factor into any analysis of whether or not families are better off today than they were a generation ago. Further, with the entrance of women into the workforce and the rise of the dual income households, recent trends suggest that upward economic mobility is increasingly a family enterprise.  That is it often takes two income earners to achieve upward intergenerational mobility.
