Tracking key life opportunities from birth to end of HS, most kids from low-inc homes had 1 or none of opp's we measured. 50% of high-inc kids had 7 or more. This opportunity gap strongly linked w/college grad & earnings Andres Bustamante Henrik D Zachrisson #DLVandell journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/00…

Part 1 of the story: Huge life opportunity gaps for children born into low- vs higher-income homes.

Part 2 of the story: Opportunity gaps strongly linked with educational attainment and earnings at age 26, particularly for children from low-income households.
