Wealth Persistence is a construct in net worth analysis that denotes the degree to which high levels of wealth are retained and transmitted across generations within households or individuals, distinguishing itself from related economic mobility concepts by focusing specifically on the intergenerational continuity of financial assets and net worth rather than income or occupational status.
