The real story is therefore rising inequality within cohorts: middle class Millennials are doing better, working class Millennials often doing worse. Focussing on 'average' cohort experiences is mostly meaningless.

This is reflected in increasing wealth inequality within cohorts:

We find large cohort shifts in work and family trajectories, with a drop in the most prestigious careers

We used the NLSY79 and the NLSY97 to compare work-family trajectories (aged 18-35) and wealth outcomes at age 35 of late Baby Boomers (born 1957-64) and early Millennials (born 1980-84)

New Paper on AJS Journal by @robgruijters.bsky.social @zjvanwinkle.bsky.social & Anette Fasang, summarized here: www.eurekalert.org/news-release... US Millennials (born 1980-84) aren’t all worse off than Baby Boomers (born 1957-64), but the rich-poor gap is widening. Significant action is needed

New in AJS! @zjvanwinkle.bsky.social, Anette Fasang & I investigate a hotly debated question: are Millennials worse off than their parents’ generation, the Baby Boomers? We argue that this is a misleading question. Why? See ⬇️ or read www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
