To examine whether work-limiting disability may modify intergenerational economic mobility in the United States.
Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, common metrics of intergenerational mobility are estimated by parent work-limiting disability. These include rank slope coefficients capturing persistence of socioeconomic status and absolute upward economic mobility capturing expected child outcomes.
Parent-child pairs with work-limiting disability experience five to twelve percentiles lower absolute economic mobility at the 25 percentile of parent income. More severe and/or chronic conditions have larger disparities and higher parent income is associated with smaller disparities. Women may experience larger mobility differences, while non-Hispanic black children may face a higher likelihood of parents experiencing work limitations.
Work-limiting disability appears to modify children's economic opportunity. This contributes to the understanding of disparate access to opportunity in the United States while also identifying economic disadvantages associated with disability for subsequent generations.
研究工作限制型残疾是否会改变美国的代际经济流动性。
利用收入动态面板研究，通过父母的工作限制型残疾来估计代际流动性的常用指标。这些指标包括捕捉社会经济地位持续性的排名斜率系数以及捕捉子女预期结果的绝对向上经济流动性。
父母患有工作限制型残疾的亲子对，在父母收入处于第25百分位时，其绝对经济流动性要低五到十二个百分点。更严重和/或慢性的疾病差异更大，而父母收入越高，差异越小。女性可能经历更大的流动性差异，而非西班牙裔黑人儿童的父母出现工作限制的可能性可能更高。
工作限制型残疾似乎会改变子女的经济机会。这有助于理解美国机会获取的不平等，同时也识别出与残疾相关的后代经济劣势。
