Summary
Social mobility is very high on the political agenda. Most evidence focuses on the relationship between income or education of parents and children. This study uses the rich information available in Understanding Society to analyse another important aspect of inter-generational social mobility – whether employment has consequences for future generations. Specifically, this research is concerned with the least advantaged young adults as they have the most difficulty in achieving upward mobility.
