Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies on economic mobility in Canada suggest that a person's income is likely to be influenced by their parent's income, but the effect is relatively small. On average, a child's income in Canada is likely to be around 1.9 percent higher than their generation's average income. Therefore, if the father earns 10 percent above his generation's average income, his son is likely to earn 1.9 percent above his generation's average income.
