Using Integrated Public Use Microdata
Series–United States micro-census data from 1960 to 2010,
this paper examines whether racial and gender income
disparities beget inequality by differentially impacting the
growth prospects of the poor, the middle class, and the
rich. Racial and gender inequality is found to be bad for
income growth of the poor, but not for that of the rich. An
investigation into the channels of this effect suggests that
higher racial and gender inequality is associated with lower
human capital accumulation among the poor and a reduction in
the quality of their jobs. |
