Families: Life Trajectory

families: The result is that a child's socioeconomic class at birth has a tremendous influence on his or her life trajectory, according to The Guardian. If our capitalist system is going to be fair to children and families if it is going to hold out any meaningful promise of equal opportunity then a new social contract is needed. These disparities translate into vastly different levels of childhood resources and experiences. Government cannot promise equal outcomes to children, but it can promote equal opportunities. Children should have the opportunity to rise as far as their talents and work will take them. This is achieved through the provision of public goods and services, including safety net supports and quality educational institutions. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
