Workshop on Intergenerational Persistence and Inequality
October 29th, 2025
How do inequalities persist—or change—across generations? Why do some families and communities experience enduring advantages while others face structural barriers to mobility? This event will bring together leading economists and sociologists to address these questions from multiple perspectives. Sessions will span new research on gender differences in intergenerational earnings, the role of school networks, long-term mobility trends among Asian Americans, and the geography of upward mobility in developing countries. The day will conclude with a policy panel featuring experts from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, World Bank, and European Commission, bridging research and practice to explore how insights on persistence and inequality can inform policy interventions. This workshop is co-sponsored by the Inequality, Welfare, and Social Justice Cluster at European University Institute and the Georgetown University Global Economic Challenges Network.
