Social mobility
Find social mobility data for an area of the UK by searching a postcode or one of 205 regions. An area’s results page includes classifications for 4 measures of social mobility:
- promising prospects – how well young people from similar socio-economic backgrounds do in education and the labour market
- conditions of childhood – whether the conditions children grow up in are good for promoting social mobility
- labour market opportunities for young people – whether the area offers more or less favourable employment opportunities
- innovation and growth – as measured by an area’s productivity level, ‘new economy’ jobs, and economically-active residents with postgraduate qualifications
The data comes from the Social Mobility Commission and is used in State of the Nation, its annual report into social mobility in the UK.
