In the third episode, Eleni Yitbarek is interviewed by Michelle Pleace about her research on intergenerational mobility in sub-Saharan Africa. The first part of their discussion focuses on the association between social and economic indicators of children and that of their parents. They then delve into comparisons between the mobility of sons and daughters, and the part played by parental bias and women's role in the household.
For those interested in learning more about intergenerational mobility, Prof. Yitbarek recommends looking at work by Raj Chetty and his team in the US, and research by Lambert, Ravallion and van de Walle on mobility in Senegal. She also recommends reading Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century and A Brief History of Equality.
