Summary

The social mobility index of England sets out the differences between where children grow up and the chances they have of doing well in adult life.

More details available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/social-mobility-index

The Social Mobility Index compares the chances that a child from a disadvantaged background will do well at school and get a good job across each of the 324 local authority district areas of England. It examines a range of measures of the educational outcomes achieved by young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and the local job and housing markets to shed light on which are the best and worst places in England in terms of the opportunities young people from poorer backgrounds have to succeed.
