<jats:title>Aspiring to do better than one's parents</jats:title> <jats:p> The American dream promises that hard work and opportunity will lead to a better life. Although the specifics of what constitutes a better life vary from generation to generation, one constant is that children expect to do better—or at least to have a good chance at doing better—than their parents. Chetty <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> show that this dream did come true for children born in the middle of the 20th century, but only for half of children born in 1984 (see the Policy Forum by Katz and Krueger). A more even distribution of economic growth, rather than more growth, would allow more children to fulfill their dreams. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6336" page="398" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="356" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aal4617">398</jats:related-article> ; see also p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6336" page="382" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="356" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aan3264">382</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
