EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY

Government unit programs and services reduce entitlements for people and families that already experience privilege (e.g., tax benefits for dual-parent families). Initiatives ensure that the most disadvantaged groups have access to either the same benefits or more and higher benefits than the least disadvantaged groups.

SAMPLE INDICATORS

  • Intergenerational transmission of socioeconomic disadvantage
  • Intergenerational earnings mobility (e.g., stratified by family income)
  • Intergenerational mobility of education (e.g., stratified by family income)
  • Socioeconomic gap between single-parent and two-parent families
