DESCRIPTION:Christine Percheski\, Associate Professor of Sociology at North
 western University\, will give a talk as part of the Sociology Colloquium s
 pring series. \n\nTitle:\n\nWealth\, Sibship Size\, and Economic Transfers 
 between Siblings in Adulthood\n\n \n\nAbstract:\n\nOver 90% of U.S. adults 
 have siblings\, but we know little about how siblings affect each other’s e
 conomic resources in adulthood. I investigate how sibship size and wealth a
 re linked in the United States and possible mechanisms underlying this asso
 ciation. With data from multiple datasets\, I show that sibship size is pre
 dictive of wealth in adulthood\, net of many individual characteristics. Wi
 th data from the Survey of Consumer Finances and my own new data collection
 \, I also show that economic transfers between siblings are relatively comm
 on\, patterned along axes of inequalities\, and vary by sibship size. I arg
 ue that sibship size an underappreciated mechanism in the reproduction of e
 conomic inequality in the contemporary U.S.
