EXPANDING ECONOMIC
MOBILITY AND OPPORTUNITY
Upward economic mobility and the democratization of capital are two defining features of
capitalism that contribute globally to job growth, broad-based prosperity, and expansive
opportunity. Perpetuating the expansion of these features requires both public-sector and
private-sector approaches to ensuring equitable opportunities for economic mobility. The
Institute recently launched the Economic Mobility Alliance to mobilize public, private,
and philanthropic capital to foster opportunity, reduce wealth inequality, and promote
economic growth, efforts that are amplified by the Milken Center for Advancing the
American Dream.
