New research evidence on social mobility and educational attainment
As part of the Social Policy in a Cold Climate programme (SPCC), LSE have produced a summary of recent research on social mobility and education attainment based on research by Jo Blanden, Claire Crawford, Ellen Greaves, Paul Gregg, Lindsey Macmillan, Abigail McKnight, Luke Sibieta and Anna Vignoles.
Coalition Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, argued that ‘the over-riding priority for our social policy is improving social mobility’. Research summarised here sheds light on how things have been changing as children move through education and on other key drivers of differences in life chances.
