How It Works

Calculate intergenerational income elasticity (IGE) to measure how strongly children's incomes correlate with parents' incomes. Compare across countries using the Great Gatsby Curve

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Countries — The countries recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the intergenerational mobility result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the countries for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate intergenerational income elasticity (IGE) to measure how strongly children's incomes correlate with parents' incomes. Compare across countries using the Great Gatsby Curve. Use the intergenerational mobility result to inform your clinical assessment.
