  • The Social Mobility Index
    The Social Mobility Index 1 Contents Foreword 3 What is the Social Mobility Index? 5 Summary 5 Methodology 6 Geographical variation in the Social Mobility Index 9 Analysing performance against the Social Mobility Index 18 Key Headlines 21 Early Years 28 School 31 Youth 34 Adulthood 37 2 Foreword On the morning after the election, the Prime Minister set a One Nation agenda for this Parliament. Britain, he said, should be “a place where a good life is in reach for everyone who is willing to work and do the right thing”. His would be a Government that offered opportunity to all, no matter where they came from. These are welcome commitments but in this report we examine the very real challenges facing the Government in creating a One Nation Britain. For the first time it identifies the most and the least socially mobile areas of the country. It does so by examining in detail the chances available to young people from poorer backgrounds in each of the 324 local authority areas in England to get the educational qualifications they need to succeed in life, and the opportunities in the local area to convert those qualifications into a good job and a decent standard of living. The Social Mobility Index uncovers a new geography of disadvantage in England. For decades the conventional wisdom has been that geographical inequalities in social mobility are drawn across simple boundaries: the North versus the South; rich areas versus poor areas; town versus country. Our analysis suggests that some of this is right – there are worrying signs, for example, that London and its commuter belt is pulling away from the rest of the country when it comes to the chances of youngsters getting into good schools and good jobs.
