5. There are several points on which there is
agreement, while healthy debate surrounds
others:
Increases in parent education lead to better
educational outcomes of children, especially
reducing the probability of very low
achievement.
Scholars disagree about whether a significant
number of students fail to attend college due
to limited family financial resources. Some
argue there is no effect while others argue for
modest impacts.
Remedial programs such as the GED and job
training for youths appear to have limited
impact and so likely do not affect mobility.
Job training for adults appears to have effects
that may enhance both absolute and relative
mobility within and across generations.
