I’m a true conservative with a background in economics. Tim Walz has a great economic policy record. He is a sane veteran who simply fights for the working class. Is that radical? I think we need to keep the country fair to keep what we have. USA innovation comes from fair laws, so Walz’s ideas can help us stay competitive. Hopefully Harris & Walz KEEP LINA KAHN @ FTC and fight hard for fairer class dynamics.
Some very compelling ideas here. Providing the conditions for nurturing families and communities to thrive should be society’s number one priority. There is no substitute for mentorship, leadership, and tailored solutions. It is hard and requires engaging with complex issues, but the children are worth it.
Basic income programs like this *also* need what Chetty is talking about - hands-on system navigation. It can be a capacity challenge or an executive function challenge, that, when overcome, will lead to a snowball of gains throughout their lives! Fantastic segment, Hari, thank you!
Providing counseling and other social supports to families is something I wrote about in 2007 in a short report called, Healthy Families & Neighborhoods for all kids. Having grown up in a family with domestic violence and a 3x incarcerated dad resulted in me growing up inside a dry cleaning shop so commonsense to me as to what is needed.
The comprehensive examination of this research is very compelling. It offers valuable insight that could potentially guide our political and social objectives for enhancing America and the world.
Very informative discussion - Great questions from the host, interesting conclusions from the guest. I appreciate that we are not just given the statistics, but concrete examples of failures and successful interventions. I hope there will be a book available on the outcome of these studies.
Don't let the weird uncle touch them. Feed them from the produce and fresh mest aisle. Ask where they are going. Ask where they have been. Don't put your selfish adult wants and greeds on their tiny shoulders. Embarrass them in front of their friends. Hug them when they aren't expecting it. Commute their sentence from time to time. Tell them where to get help if they can't come to you with a problem. Don't make everything about you.

For starters, the GOP has kept cutting the EEOC budget. Let's reverse that so corporations have to promote fair hiring and promotion by law. I have zero confidence that corporations can self-regulate and be fair.
Both parties promote importing a labor glut. Rs' visa indentured white collar, Ds' blue collar Everyone Here Illegally Should Stay Here.

If a kid has an issue it’s really the parent that’s the reason. Help parents you help kids. I was stressed raising my boys 20 years ago, adopted later and sooo much easier at this stage in life. BTW I can afford private now so she goes to be around healthier kids less likely to see fighting, drugs, sex and social media. My free time is spent connecting with her not trying to recoup from life stressors.

Poor white young adults could have told you this w/o a study; they see that they are struggling in ways their poor aunts and uncles did not. Those white kids in the 70s had access to union jobs because racist policies favored them and unions protected them. That is now gone. Rich people have always done well. And always will.
Rich people favor having a labor glut, for rock bottom wages, regardless of race. "And always will." The very basis of globalism. Shop for and exploit the cheapest workers on the planet. Sell high, in the west/westward. Flaw in their plan, impending implosion: no discretionary income in the west, means no discretionary market there either.
Exactly. My first-gen college peers at Ivy League uni aren't doing much better after graduation than those who had or made networks with rich/influental people...
I think social media now, UA-camr and tik toker, there are people/kids make tons of money now by making videos... so by that being said, I think we definitely moving on to the new era. But I totally agree that income plays an very important role. And attentive parent too, of course!
The best way to put a child on the path to success as adults is for that child to be reared in two parent, stable home. The family is the foundation of our social structure.
He me tinned economically stable families but never expanded on it. You are spot on- two parents in a stable relationship raising kids with stability and love. That's a kids ticket to success. Why they won't state the importance of stable marriages for children is beyond me.
@ideaWorld403 he is a professor of public economics. There's no public policy intervention that can make two parents love, respect and support each other so he doesn't mention that. When are we going to move on from the idea that it's OK to write tens of millions of kids off just because they grew up in the "wrong" kind of family?
Education, Education, Education changes lives. Edu is the key to improve. Edu is the passport to life. What can edu do for you ??? Many things !!! It's time for the USA to put edu first. Give every child 2 yrs community college for " Free ". This will improve edu in America. Currently, U.S. population has 34% with college edu. It's very low !!!
Does anyone want to just plot the rise of fatherlessness in these families with this economic data and see how much of a correlation there is? I bet it's HIGH...
You could probably attribute most of the losses in all groups to increases single parent household and any gains to unfathomable government spending to try to make progress against the tide. A cultural change to value intact families and education would be a cost effective and more productive way forward.
It’s just not happening fast enough (social-economic upward mobility) to combat inflation and ‘COLA’ sharp changes. Even as a resident of the Southeast US region cited within segment, recruit from out of state and contract professionals (especially in technology, finance, mid-management) from overseas fill positions on a rotation while not impacting policy enhancement as engaged voter population. Those with highest stake in realized social-economic change continue to be circumvented by appealing incentive employers. The ‘race specific’ determining factor for opportunity to sustain rise in quality of life conditions remains a reality here. Please continue speaking more on topic to hold policymakers accountably aware via media coverage. PS: Per Scholas required enrollees to be available full time during daytime working hours, lack of flexibility disqualifies the working adult population unable to remove effectively unemployed, not obliged to meet living expenses to benefit from sponsored ‘upskill’ training program being offered (inquired about 1 year ago).
Industry is making record profits from imported labor glut. They aren't going to hire an American engineer when they can get a visa indentured worker from India at $8.10 an hour, or an American blue collar worker when they can get an illegal immigrant at wage theft rates of less than min wage. 35 years of this, and it's only gotten worse.
Nope, we did. Less than a third of kids are on grade level so we pay high taxes and tuition. Teachers don’t have a choice but to teach to lowest common denominator. They need to stop promoting based on age but on ability. Put $ into helping those in need without sacrificing kids that already have what they need at home
The Clintons kicked off "Centrist" democrats - and tipped min wage has been at $2.13 ever since. It shouldn't take a village, to feed a child. Living Min Wage. Nationally.
I was one of three students in 3rd grade that excelled. The teacher said that only one of us will be successful because it's a bad world. I did not survive. I got bullied in 5th grade.
Fortunately, I had a father who started assertiveness training on us when we were small. As for the bullies, your opinion of you is far more important than that of others. Particularly opinions of bullies who can't control their own abusers, so forward their hostilities to others. Best wishes, and take care of your 3rd grader aspirations - he's still there, waiting for you, to pick him up.
with respect, aren't these the same old programs that have been in place forever? None of this sounds new or different. Throwing $ at problems of course isn't enough but positioning these ideas as great new suggestions sounds insane to me
There's something about the "years of birth" range that is a bit *meh* for me; the demographic for this specific dataset is those between the ages of 32-46 years old. What about these factors in younger demographics? The data is not giving the whole picture but it is SOUNDING as if it is the whole picture. That's the problem.
Really HATE this low resolution emphasis on so called “Black” vs so called “White” analysis. How are Somali’s doing vs Hmong, or Caribbean’s vs Nigerian’s. Furthermore, a generational analysis seems more useful a layer than broad, unsophisticated and legal definitions of ‘race’ as that’s a lagging and under-qualified feature of social/cultural norms. So, comparing 3rd and 4th generation Irish, Italians or Germans with 2nd generation Indians might provide better insight into the transmissibility of knowledge and values for each demographic across their own generations. Seems far more what we should be after than this reductionistic approach that appeases only to the lazy among us.
