  34. Possible causes of inequality:- social mobility - demography - technology - globalization

  35. social mobility

  36. EXAMPLE: if intergenerational earnings elasticity of 0.20, this means that if an individual in that country earns $10,000 less income than the average, 20 per cent of that difference (or, $2,000) will be passed on to the individual’s children. In other words, the children will earn $2,000 less than the average. SOURCE: http://www.conferenceboard.ca/hcp/details/society/intergenerational-income-mobility.aspx
