Wealth and the Persistence of Racial Inequality
As the country grapples with its persistent problem of racial injustice, this ISR Insights talk will focus on one aspect of long-standing racial inequality — gaps in family wealth. Featuring new findings on the depth and persistence of racial wealth gaps, Fabian Pfeffer (Associate Professor, Sociology; Research Associate Professor, Population Studies Center, Survey Research Center ISR; Director, Center for Inequality Dynamics) will also clarify why rising levels of wealth inequality present a major challenge to the economic prosperity and opportunity of most families in this country.
This webinar is the third in a continuing series focusing on the research happening at ISR. If there is a topic you would like to see featured or have an idea for a future presentation, please email [email protected]. This talk is being recorded and will be shared widely.
