Abstract

Abstract We explore the relationship between social mobility and economic development. First, we map the geography of intergenerational mobility in education for 52 Latin American regions, and examine its evolution over time. Then, through a new weighting procedure considering the level of participation of various cohorts in the economy in each year, we estimate the association between changes in mobility and regional economic indicators, such as income per capita, inequality, poverty, labor formality, and luminosity. Our findings show that increasing social mobility is consistently associated with economic development and growth in Latin America.

社会流动和经济发展

摘要:本文探讨社会流动与经济发展之间的关系。首先，我们绘制了52个拉丁美洲地区教育代际流动的地理分布图，并考察了其随时间的演变。然后，通过一种新的加权程序，考虑每年不同群体在经济中的参与水平，我们估计了流动性变化与区域经济指标之间的关联，如人均收入、不平等、贫困、劳动形式和亮度。我们的研究结果表明，在拉丁美洲，社会流动性的增加始终与经济发展和增长有关。
