Across the country, children begin life from vastly different starting points, shaping their aspirations and potential. While some are filled with hope, many face harsh realities that hinder their dreams. These disparities lead to divergent paths of growth and development, resulting in unequal adult outcomes. This raises critical questions about how birth circumstances have become so influential and what actions can be taken to equalize opportunities for all Americans, young and old. The editors argue that inaction will only exacerbate divisions, straining the nation's social fabric and democracy. Understanding the dynamics of opportunity distribution and transmission is essential for improving life outcomes for individuals and the nation as a whole. The Opportunity in America initiative by Educational Testing Service aims to explore these dynamics and foster a national dialogue on necessary actions. This volume features 14 chapters, including an epilogue, authored by experts in education, economics, demography, and political science. Together, they illuminate key issues and propose policies and practices to counteract current trends. Written in an engaging style, this work serves as a crucial foundation for informed discussion and strategic analysis.
