For too many others, aspirations are tempered, if not dashed, by the sobering realities of everyday life.These different starting points place children on distinctly different trajectories of growth and development, ultimately leading to vastly different adult outcomes. .How did we get to a place where circumstances of birth have become so determinative? And what must we do, within communities and across our country, to better equalize opportunity for more Americans – both young and old? The editors of this volume contend that if, as a nation, we do nothing, then we will continue to drift apart, placing an unsustainable strain on the nation’s social fabric and the character of its democracy. Consequently, understanding the dynamics governing the distribution and transmission of opportunity – and transforming this understanding into policies and programs – is critical for not only the life outcomes of individual Americans and their children, but also the country as a whole. .The goal of Educational Testing Service’s .Opportunity in America. | | 出版日期 | Book‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘ 2016 | | 关键词 | Intergenerational mobility; The American dream; Equality of opportunity; Economic opportunity; Education | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-25991-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-79873-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-25991-8 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and the Author(s) 2016 |
