Mobility Atlas Brazil

The Mobility Atlas Brazil is the result of a collaboration between researchers at the Prospera Lab, the Clean Unit/Bocconi, and IMDS. Based on our work "Intergenerational Mobility in the Land of Inequality (D. Britto, A. Fonseca, P. Pinotti, B. Sampaio and L. Warwar)", we created the Brazilian Income Mobility Database. The platform aims to help researchers, policymakers, and community members understand the factors contributing to social mobility and develop targeted solutions to improve opportunities for children in disadvantaged areas. 

Global Opportunity Atlas

The Prospera Lab and the Clean Unit/Bocconi are also one of pioneering teams composing the Global Opportunity Atlas - a partnership with Opportunity Insights (Harvard).
