In this episode of The World of Higher Education Podcast, host Alex Usher talks with Zachary Bleemer, Assistant Professor of Economics at Princeton University, about his recent paper co-authored with Sarah Quincy. Their research titled 'Changes in the College Mobility Pipeline Since 1900' reveals that higher education's role as a social elevator ceased to function nearly 80 years ago. The conversation digs into methodological aspects, data sources, and the dramatic shift observed post-1960. Together they explore why lower-income students are no longer receiving the same wage benefits from higher education as their wealthier peers, and discuss the policy implications of these findings. Join us for a deep dive into the systemic changes affecting social mobility through higher education.
