Intergenerational Mobility, Intergenerational Income Mobility, Measurement Methods, Influencing FactorsAbstract
One important measure of the degree of class inequality and the equity of social opportunity is intergenerational income mobility. Enhancing it has broad strategic implications for reducing economic inequality, dismantling class divisions, and attaining the objective of shared prosperity. Although there is extensive scholarly research on intergenerational income mobility, few papers provide a thorough analysis of its conceptual framework, measurement techniques, and influencing factors. As a result, this study discusses its limitations and future research goals while methodically reviewing the conceptual framework, measurement techniques, and factors influencing intergenerational income mobility. Future studies should emphasize the varied effects of public policies, expand multidimensional assessments of intergenerational mobility, deepen the perspective of inclusive finance, and encourage the integration of measurement techniques.
