A poverty-stricken family living in New York’s Lower East Side, circa 1890.But a child born in poverty in America is more likely to face poverty in adulthood than in many Western countries.might look a little different for everyone. But at its heart, it promises upward mobility, the opportunity to attain success no matter what situation you might be born into.
The researchers' measure of persistence of poverty in the US is 0.43, which means that "experiencing all of one's childhood in poverty is associated with a 43 percentage point higher mean poverty exposure during early adulthood ." In Denmark, in contrast, it's just 0.08. The researchers found this difference between countries has little to do with differences in quality of education, nor is it based on racial discrimination or location, with the persistence of poverty in the US high across racial and geographic lines.
