The Guardian:
Social mobility requires far more than a good education
27 September 2018
Opinion
by Lee Elliot Major and Stephen Machin
"Britain is stuck. Too many of us are destined to end up in the same positions occupied by our parents – particularly if we sit on the lowest or highest rungs of life’s economic ladder. Generations growing up today face a bleak future: falling real wages, shrinking opportunities and greater income divides. The dream of just doing better, let alone climbing the social ladder, is dying."
