As millions of families gather to wave goodbye to summer this Labor Day weekend, let’s take a moment to celebrate their contribution to next-generation social mobility.
The prevalence of two-parent families in communities predicts their average level of student achievement and social mobility rates for those from disadvantaged backgrounds—even after adjusting for income, education, ethnic composition, racial segregation, and other community factors. Children learn more if they have two parents, and they benefit as well from living in places where two-parent families are the norm.
University of South Carolina economist Angela Dills, Dany Shakeel of the University of Buckingham, and I discovered the importance of families after digging into county-level data on social mobility for children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, which has been made available by Opportunity Insights at Harvard University.
Like many previous studies, including a recent book by Melissa Kearney, we find that having two adults in the home creates more opportunity for success than otherwise, even when money and other factors are taken into account. As important as dollars is time, the scarcest resource of all. Adult time is needed for a child to learn words and numbers, to receive emotional support, to learn about learning resources, and to get a ride—or walk—to school. An opportunity for children to have twice as much time with a parent counts for a lot.
Not all two-parent families make the best use of their time with children. Conversely, many single parents find ways to make extraordinarily good use of the limited time they have. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and neighbors sometimes have their back. We have all witnessed single parents who somehow succeed in raising capable children on their own. These heroic accomplishments are to be celebrated this Labor Day as much as, perhaps even more than, those of parents with partners to help them through the pleasures and challenges of diaper changing, toddler minding, book reading, word learning, birthday-party throwing, adolescent comforting, and more.
Yet the stark reality stabbing through the data we examined is that children from low-income backgrounds who grow up in communities with a greater density of two-parent families tend to earn more as adults. That’s partly due to the fact that children in these communities are learning more at school, as measured by their performance on state tests. The higher achievement at these schools translates into higher rates of social mobility for children from disadvantaged families.
Schools win the silver medal in the social mobility competition, but it is not just learning at school that counts. The prevalence of two-parent families in a community has a large, direct effect on children’s future incomes as adults irrespective of their achievement levels in school. We do not have all the information needed to identify the mechanisms at work. In all likelihood, learning skills needed for future success reflects what happens in the family and the family’s access to many community resources, not simply the learning taking place within school buildings.
A greater density of community organizations, both religious and secular, also facilitates social mobility: scouts, church groups, YMCAs, sports clubs, and similar organizations. Social mobility rates are higher in those areas where these kinds of groups are more densely concentrated. Still, the prevalence of community organizations wins the bronze, as it trails both the importance of good schools and a dual-parent presence in the county.
Adolescent friendships can help to boost social mobility as well. Low-income students who have a higher proportion of friends from more advantaged backgrounds in high school will be more likely to climb the social ladder, a point also made by Raj Chetty and his team at Opportunity Insights. This is more common if students have higher achievement levels. More exactly, places with higher levels of student achievement are the same places that have more friendships across the social divide. We are unable to figure out which factor causes the other. That’s a bit like determining whether the frog or the tadpole comes first.
We also looked into whether trust in political institutions affects children’s opportunities to move up the income ladder. To our surprise, this factor, although given so much attention in contemporary discussions, seems irrelevant to upward mobility once other factors are taken into consideration. The mobility of the next generation depends more on the preservation of dual-parent families, good schools, and beneficial community organizations than on reductions in political and social discord.
The gold medal goes to dual-parent families, which by wide margin contribute more to an equal-opportunity society than any other factor. If pre-school programs, nutritious food in schools, earned income tax credits, and tax credits for families with children all help to preserve two-parent families, it means they contribute to social mobility for the disadvantaged. The successful single mother deserves our praise, but public policy should work to preserve as many two-parent families as possible.
Fit to Serve is proudly sponsored by The Transcend Foundation.
A person’s VO₂ max is the maximum amount of oxygen that a person can take in during intense exercise. It is a very important tool for athletes that track their fitness progress. Do you know what your VO₂ max is? There is a formula that can be used to help you determine it, and Dr. Anthony Acevedo considers it a vital tool to help you improve performance and overall fitness (1). The scientist, nutritionist, and adjunct college professor offered to share it as a tool to help athletes and potential service members prepare to take their potential to the next level.
“The calculation to convert the time it takes to complete a 1.5-mile run into an estimated VO₂ max (in mL/kg/min) is typically done using a specific formula,” Acevedo explained. He shared a simple way to apply it.
Record: Keep track of the time it takes to run 1.5 miles in minutes and seconds.
Convert Time to Decimal Form: Convert the time into minutes in decimal form. For example, if the run time is 12 minutes and 30 seconds, convert this to 12.5 minutes.
Apply the Formula VO2 max=3.5+Time (in minutes)483 : Plug the time in minutes into the formula to estimate VO₂ max. Based on the 12.5-minute example, the formula would be VO2 max=3.5+12.5483 VO2 max=3.5+38.64 VO2 max=42.14 mL/kg/min.
“The higher the VO₂ max, the better,” Acevedo explained. This is just one sign of the passion for fitness and learning how to maximize performance that he has, which has taken him places and led him to doing meaningful work that he would’ve never thought possible as a kid.
Anthony Acevedo grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and he acknowledged that he didn’t have the easiest childhood. He and his older sister were surrounded by drugs and violence. His parents were not involved with him early on because they were in and out of the legal system. He was moving around frequently, staying with other family members.
“I had a rough upbringing in the 80’s and 90’s.”
He was also bullied as a self-described “obese kid.” He shared that his mother eventually found a positive path forward and re-married.
“My stepdad came into the picture, and I have so much respect for that guy to take on a dysfunctional woman and two extremely rambunctious kids.”
Many kids would be doomed to be stuck in their own legal issues and personal battles because of such a troubling start, but Acevedo was not one those kids. He took up boxing and wrestling as he got older. He also played football.
“Getting involved with fitness really changed my mental capacity. I use it for an outlet and as a release.”
He enjoyed being physical and getting in better shape but felt his destiny was going to be in something else, and that turned out to be the military.
“The military literally saved me,” he said. “That was a big part for me.”
Dr. Anthony Acevedo
His grandfather, Paul Lasin, served during World War II. Acevedo has Lasin’s flag, and he calls it the greatest gift that he ever received. His own ties to the military were created as a junior in high school. Acevedo saw a sign of a rescue swimmer jumping out of a helicopter in a cafeteria, and he was intrigued. He went home that evening and spoke to his stepfather, who was in favor of the move.
“I chose the right direction and went into the Coast Guard. I went to basic training one week after I graduated high school and never looked back.”
As an E2, Acevedo was in a supportive role, but one of his strengths was his ability to keep energy high and put other Coast Guardsmen through workouts. He took this up on his own but found it to be a positive difference maker for himself and others.
“It was a really good community to be a part of.”
He didn’t get to become a rescue swimmer, but he did advance up to an E5 by the age of 19. He found his ability to train and help others through fitness impacted every group he was a part of throughout his career in service.
After four years, he felt it was time to go in another direction. He became a personal trainer for a gym in Annapolis, MD but remained connected to service because many of his clients were from the Navy.
“That was something I felt compelled to take on myself.”
Anthony Acevedo went on to relocate to San Diego, CA and work as a Fitness Director for a gym there. Aside from general population training, he specialized in helping those prepare for the military. Years later, he returned to Annapolis and opened his own gym.
“Wherever I went, I found some way to stay within the fitness realm.”
Along the way, he was also pursuing higher education, getting his Masters degree in nutrition and a Ph.D. in Human Performance. Eventually, his other major connection would come calling again. Acevedo would take a supportive role with the Air Force and the CRAFT program, where he served as the data scientist/exercise physiologist for the human performance team. He has been very active with the science side of human performance and science. Part of that science includes research comparing ROTC cadets to an infantry unit. (2)
In August 2024, he was transitioning to take a position with the United States Army, working with the H2F program (Health and Holistic Fitness).
“I get to enhance the science of what I have been doing,” he shared.
Acevedo’s presence and efforts have been beneficial for many current members of the Armed Forces, and he hopes to do the same for future heroes that wear the nation’s cloth. He advises those considering service that fitness must be a high priority and that commitment to service should be one that is lifelong in some form.
“My term in the Coast Guard was only four years, but it has never ended in the sense of always trying to help in some capacity.”
Anthony Acevedo’s Tips to Increase VO₂ Max
“Consistency training and progressively increasing intensity are key aspects to improving VO₂ max,” Acevedo said. He shared four tips to help you improve yours.
Perform High Intensity Interval Training
An example is 30 seconds all out sprint, then a walk or light job for 1 – 2 minutes. Repeat cycle for 20 minutes.
Run Pace/Tempo Training
Run at a pace slightly faster than a normal training pace for 20 minutes.
Train for Distance
This can be running, cycling, or swimming at a moderate pace for 45 minutes.
Recover
Ensure adequate rest is allowed for the body to adapt and improve.
