Description
One in two young people born into an upper-middle-class background will experience a decline in their social status. This phenomenon is explored in-depth by Jessi Streib, who conducted ten years of longitudinal interviews with over 100 American youth.
The book reveals that the likelihood of falling from the upper-middle class depends on the resources available to young people at birth. Those raised with more financial and academic support are more likely to maintain their social position, while those with fewer resources may find themselves in downwardly mobile paths.
Streib's research highlights the complex interplay between identity, resource availability, and social mobility. The findings offer a nuanced understanding of how young people navigate the complexities of class reproduction and fall from an upper-middle-class background.
