Brookings: Changing Landscape of Economic Opportunity by Race and Class in America – New Data and Policy Implications

Brookings is hosting a webinar on the Changing Landscape of Economic Opportunity by Race and Class in America: New Data and Policy Implications on Wednesday, July 24^th, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM.

There are large differences in children’s chances of rising up and achieving the American Dream of upward income mobility by race, place, and class in America. While a large body of work has emerged studying the roots of these differences in opportunity, much less is known about how opportunity changes over time. This event will focus on the new study from Raj Chetty, Will Dobbie, Benjamin Goldman, and Crystal Yang of Opportunity Insights with Sonya Porter of the U.S. Census Bureau. After a presentation of the report, the New York Times’ David Leonhardt will moderate a panel to discuss the new research and what it means for reshaping opportunity in America.
