Having the wrong friends can ruin your economic possibilities - Dr Boyce Watkins
Research by Harvard economist Raj Chetty and his colleagues, which explored the influence of growing up in wealthier neighborhoods on economic outcomes. The study, part of the Opportunity Insights project, found that children who grow up in higher-income areas are more likely to experience upward mobility and achieve higher incomes as adults. The research emphasized the importance of "neighborhood effects," showing that the environment in which a child is raised, including exposure to wealthier peers, access to better schools, and community resources, plays a significant role in their future economic success. The study suggested that social networks, role models, and economic opportunities in wealthier areas contribute to better financial outcomes for those growing up in such environments.
