尽管宏观经济条件、人口结构和收入不平等程度存在很大差异，但在我们研究的八个国家中，有孩子的低收入家庭的收入变化普遍存在，而且惊人地相似。在大多数欧洲国家，穷人之间的适度不平等和广泛的流动性使几乎所有家庭至少偶尔能够避免相对的收入剥夺。然而，即使美国穷人之间有很大的流动性，也不能把七分之一的白色家庭和五分之二的黑人家庭的生活水平提高到一个典型的美国家庭所享有的生活水平的一半。
Despite very different macroeconomic conditions, demographic structures and degrees of income inequality, favorable income changes among low-income families with children were widespread and strikingly similar across the eight countries in our study. In most European countries, the combination of modest inequality and extensive mobility among the poor enabled virtually all families to avoid relative income deprivation at least occasionally. However, even substantial mobility among the poor in the Unites States could not elevate the living standards of one in seven white and two in five black families to a level that was half that enjoyed by a typical American family.
