Americans Are Disconnected With Upward Mobility, Says New Kellogg Research – Chicago News

American Upward Mobility

Let’s explore some of the most interesting stories that have emerged from Chicago business schools this week.


How Close­ly Do Our Beliefs About Social Mobil­i­ty Match Reality?Kellogg Insight

New research from Northwestern Kellogg Assistant Professor of Managerial Economics and Decision Sciences Edoar­do Teso assessed mobility rates among social classes in the U.S., U.K., France, Italy, and Sweden and found that Amer­i­cans’ over­es­ti­mat­ed and Europeans underestimated “people’s chances of climbing from the bot­tom to the top of the eco­nom­ic lad­der.”

According to the article, Teso won­ders whether the disconnect between people’s perceptions com­pared to the real­i­ty of social mobility might “explain why the Unit­ed States often resists income redis­tri­b­u­tion poli­cies such as high­er tax­es for the wealthy, while many Euro­pean nations embrace them.”

“These per­cep­tions are real­ly deeply root­ed,” Teso notes.

“Amer­i­ca is famous­ly a land of immi­grants where many peo­ple did in fact build their own fortunes. In con­trast, Europe prac­ticed feu­dal­ism for cen­turies, dur­ing which a person’s fate was large­ly gov­erned by their fam­i­ly circum­stances,” Teso’s research claims.

In contrast to Japan, women in the Denmark and Sweden have a very high rate of participation in the labor market. The professors wanted to bring the students to these countries so that they could witness and learn firsthand what governmental and corporate policies encourage women to work.
