The first report in the Striving and Thriving series examines current intergenerational mobility patterns and racial disparities in the United States across multiple dimensions: income and education, referred to as “striving,” and physical and mental health, or “thriving.” In addition, this report examines growing evidence that people of color and those from low-income backgrounds may trade their health for their educational and economic success.
