Intergenerational mobility — an adult’s ability to exit poverty and earn more than their parents — is falling in the USA. Parolin et al. compare intergenerational poverty persistence (a measure of immobility) in the USA to four peer countries and conclude that disproportionately high poverty persistence in the USA is due to a weak safety net.

代际贫困持续性


代际流动性——成年人摆脱贫困并比父母赚更多的钱的能力——在美国正在下降。Parolin 等人将美国的代际贫困持续性（衡量不流动性的指标）与四个同行国家进行了比较，并得出结论，美国不成比例的高贫困持续性是由于安全网薄弱造成的。
