pdf“How to Bet Big on
the American Dream”
The big bet is investments in areas that
help low-income children meet a series of
milestones. These goals, such as completing
high school with a 2.5 average, set the
youth up for greater social and economic
mobility later in life.

The type of debt parents incur can affect
children emotionally and behaviorally.
Households that experienced a rise in
‘unsecured’ or bad debt, like high
interest credit cards, also saw a rise in
children’s behavioral issues.

“More Than Half of ‘Children’

children learn the same political values
as their parents, 51.2% of respondents
either mis-identified their parents’
affiliation or rejected it.

Why The NLS Counts
“The National Longitudinal Surveys stand
out because they are designed to answer
key long-term questions about people’s
paths through life.
The survey doesn’t just ask about labor
market activity. It also asks about education,
training, health, marriages and other
relationships, children, use of government
programs, juvenile crimes and arrests, drug
and alcohol use, and much more. Why do
we ask about these topics, some of which
are pretty sensitive? In short, we’re trying
to understand all the things that affect or
are affected by labor market activity. That
covers nearly every part of our lives.
This is all possible thanks to the people
who have agreed to participate in the
surveys across many years—so that we can
understand people’s paths over time!”

Research Highlights
p Labor Market
Evidence suggests that an
economic downturn in childhood,
such as a recession, may have
negative impact into adulthood.
p Education
High school age children with
incarcerated mothers have lower
rates of future college attendance.
p Health
An extra year of public insurance
(Medicaid/CHIP) as a child
improves health as a young adult
and reduces chronic issues.
p Family
Cohabiting young adults
increasingly have joint financial
accounts and assets, helping their
economic stability.
