This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of absolute intergenerational mobility (AIM) in Hong Kong, using census data spanning four decades. Employing the “copula and marginals” method, the authors document a sharp decline in AIM, from 85% for the 1976 birth cohort to 49% for the 2001 cohort, driven largely by diminished labor income mobility. The erosion stems primarily from slower economic growth rather than rising inequality; under constant economic growth, AIM would stabilize at approximately 67%, accounting for nearly all of the decline, with minimal residual from inequality or copula changes. The findings are robust across specifications, and an innovative Mincer equation–based decomposition highlights education’s critical role in mitigating declines, offering general insights into how tertiary expansion shapes mobility in transitioning economies.

Wellesley Centers for Women IN THE NEWS "Sari Pekkala Kerr, an economist and senior research scientist at the Wellesley Centers for Women, teaches a women in the economy course annually. She begins the semester by asking students to raise their hands if they see themselves getting married one day and having kids. Last fall, 60% indicated that they think they wanted to get married, but only 25% would consider having children. Even Kerr was stunned. It was a significant decline compared to a decade ago."

Wellesley Centers for Women IN THE NEWS "Some states have passed laws in recent years to protect child victims of sex trafficking. But at the same time, most states have passed laws that allow those same children to be arrested or prosecuted for prostitution. It's a tug of war between advocates, law enforcement and policymakers to determine the best approach for keeping vulnerable children safe from pimps, predators and dangerous family members. Often these intentions to 'keep kids safe' end up harming the very children the laws are supposed to protect. This is done by identifying them as criminals and not victims." THE CONVERSATION

How does a large structural change to the labor market affect education investments made at young ages? Exploiting differential exposure to the national decline in routine-task intensity across local labor markets, we show that the secular decline in routine tasks causes major shifts in education investments of high school students, where they invest less in vocational-trades education and increasingly invest in college education. Our results highlight that labor demand changes impact inequality in the next generation. Low-ability and low-SES students are most responsive to task-biased demand changes and, as a result, intergenerational mobility in college education increases.

Standard intergenerational measures have been shown to understate the long-run persistence of socioeconomic advantages in developed countries. We study theoretically and empirically whether this pattern extends to less developed settings, using Indonesia as a case study. We estimate multigenerational correlations in education across three generations, using five waves of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) and the 1995 and 2005 Censuses. Contrary to previous findings, we find a negative grandparent-grandchild coefficient, implying greater educational mobility than the intergenerational correlations from developing contexts typically suggest. We build a theoretical framework to identify two key factors influencing multigenerational transmission in developing countries: (1) financial and credit constraints, and (2) cultural norms surrounding marital sorting. To test the salience of these mechanisms in Indonesia, we analyze regional variations in marital practices, education expenditures, and the impact of 1997 Asian financial crisis.
