SOCIAL MOBILITY AND ITS ENEMIES - LEE ELLIOT MA...

What are the effects of decreasing social mobility?How does education help - and hinder - us in
improving our life chances?Why are so many of us stuck on the same social rung as our
parents?Apart from the USA  Britain has the lowest social mobility in the Western world. The
lack of movement in who gets where in society - particularly when people are stuck at the
bottom and the top - costs the nation dear  both in terms of the unfulfilled talents of those
left behind and an increasingly detached elite  disinterested in improvements that benefit the
rest of society.This book analyses cutting-edge research into how social mobility has changed
in Britain over the years  the shifting role of schools and universities in creating a fairer
future  and the key to what makes some countries and regions so much richer in opportunities 
bringing a clearer understanding of what works and how we can better shape our future.
