abstract: 'How can employers facilitate economic mobility for workers, particularly

  workers of color or those without a college degree? The authors

  integrate a fragmented literature to assess how employers'' practices

  affect enhanced economic security and mobility. This article first

  identifies three pathways linking employers'' practices to mobility:

  improving material job quality, increasing access to better jobs for

  historically marginalized workers, and promoting sustainability of

  employment. The authors provide a critical assessment of the research

  literature on recruitment and hiring practices; pay and wages; promotion

  practices; scheduling; leaves; diversity, equity, and inclusion

  initiatives; and work systems as these practices relate to economic

  mobility. They then identify strategic questions and feasible designs

  for enhancing future research on these questions in order to guide

  policy and management practice.'
