Yes to all of this, "Our goal should be to make freedom of mobility so compelling that people demand it. Help people visualize (and demand!) a future where kids can bike to school, seniors can walk to the store, couples can bike to dinner, etc." #IntergenerationalMobility #IndependentMobilty

Intergenerational Mobility Trends and the Changing Role of Female Labor Ulrika Ahrsjö, René Karadakic and Joachim Kahr Rasmussen Using harmonized administrative data from Scandinavia, we find that intergenerational rank associations in income have increased uniformly across Sweden, Denmark, and Norway for cohorts born between 1951 and 1979. By gender, father-son mobility remains stable, while correlations for mothers and daughters rise. Similar patterns appear in US survey data, albeit with different timing. We show that the decline in income mobility reflects a stronger link between female income and underlying productivity, rather than stronger intergenerational transmission of human capital or changes in assortative mating. Finally, we show that parent-child correlations increase mainly when women gain access to jobs that match their productivity.

#IntergenerationalMobility is declining, but it’s not less opportunity – it’s more #GenderEquality. Ulrika Ahrsjö, René Karadakic, & Joachim Kahr Rasmussen find that women’s incomes now reflect their skills, and parent-child income links are stronger.

Yes, so start a #BikeBus, join a bike bus, or just bike to school with your child, or grandchild. I had a great bike ride to school yesterday with my granddaughter and her dad. #IntergenerationalMobility #Social #Active #Fun #Mental #Physical #Psychological #Health #WellBeing

#E-bikes great for older adults cognitive, mental, and physical health. Opportunity to be outside, interact with others, and connect to the community. Should be promoted by CDC, AARP, and others. #SafeStreets4All #IntergenerationalMobility @odot-statewide.bsky.social

Photo of older adult male grandparent standing next to a RadWagon cargo bike, with one of his granddaughters on the cargo seat, and the other granddaughter standing over her pedal bike, on the way to school.

I always have a great time biking to school on the cargo bike with my granddaughters and daughter. I have tried to get elected/transportation officials out with me but no luck so far. #IntergenerationalMobility #IntergenerationalLearning

Included in strategies for age-friendly resilience are "Expand Transportation and Mobility Options' and 'Strengthen Social Infrastructure'. Just so happens that we have a great tool to address these areas called a 'bike'. #IntergenerationalMobility #IntergenerationalLearning #Fun
