该研究的首席作者、芝加哥大学经济学家简斯·路德维格(Jens Ludwig)说,“人们一直关注一个家庭所居住的社区在经济与教育方面对于家庭的影响,但事实证明它在这两方面影响都不是很大。人们一直以来所关注且担心的其实并不全面,帮助贫困家庭远不止是提高他们的收入这么简单。
While moving to safer neighborhoods made a big difference in peoples' lives, however, moving to less racially segregated ones didn't. That is worrisome because even as the U.S. has become less racially segregated in recent decades, it has become economically segregated, with poor people increasingly concentrated in certain neighborhoods. From a quality-of-life standpoint, the researchers found, the increase in poverty concentration over the past 40 years has almost canceled out the gains in income among poorer Americans.
尽管搬进更安全的社区会在很大程度上改变人们的生活,但如果你搬入的地方是各种族杂居区,情况则会不同。近几十年来,虽然美国社会的种族隔离逐渐消融,但人们又开始依照经济状况划分贫富等级,越来越多的贫民聚集在某一片区,这种情况令人担忧。研究人员发现,从生活质量上看,过去四十年来,贫困阶层居住集中程度的加剧几乎抵消了美国穷人的收入增长。
'The adverse effects on poor families from growing economic segregation basically undermines all the gains they've experienced in income,' Mr. Ludwig said.
