The Research Library

Changing the trajectory of socioeconomic mobility has traditionally relied on federal and state policy, based on research that tied these policies to positive (and negative) trends in our countries economic conditions over time. Local governments, however, control many levers that can actually have an outsized influence on the long-term outcomes of their residents. The NTX Social Mobility Hub wants to make sure that best research and information on barriers and drives to socioeconomic mobility are accessible and actionable for leaders in our region. Our Research Library provides high-level summaries of findings related to key areas of research, as well as links to where you can find more information about the leading research on socioeconomic mobility. 


The Research Library is a living resource, and will be updated periodically with new research and findings that can be helpful to policymakers, educators, and students hoping to tackle issues that increase mobility in our communities. This library is not intended to be the sole source of information, and other resources will be identified to help take you further into specific topics - we don’t need to reinvent the wheel.
