Details
This report assesses the progress that Great Britain has made towards improving social mobility.
It highlights that:

- being born privileged means you are likely to remain privileged, whilst being born disadvantaged means you may have to overcome barriers to improve you and your children’s social mobility
- urgent action needs to be taken to help close the privilege gap
This summary document sets out the main findings and recommendations from the full report.
