Check out the Urban Institute’s new website that features research and data on factors that influence upward mobility.
The newly launched website is dedicated to the Boosting Upward Mobility project. Under this project, Urban is collaborating with a group of eight counties across the country as they develop plans for boosting upward mobility and racial equity in their communities. Counties participating in the Boosting Upward Mobility project will apply an upward mobility framework, which identifies key conditions that can propel families and individuals out of poverty and narrow racial inequities. Over the coming months, Urban will document and share learned lessons from the participating counties’ on-the-ground experiences.
