The notion of social mobility has been a cornerstone of UK policy for decades. Despite this, we have been witnessing a significant decline in the potential for young people to transcend their family backgrounds in their life outcomes. Our expert panel unpicks the policy interventions needed to ensure equality of opportunity, for individuals, and long-term socio-economic prosperity, for the nation. This event considers the causes of the current social mobility slowdown to explore strategies to reignite social mobility across the whole of the UK.
Chaired by Mehreen Khan (The Times, chair), with Lou Davies (Bedminster Down School), Lindsey Macmillan (University College London and Centre for Education Policy and Equalising Opportunities), Suzanne Rolt (Arnolfini), David Sturrock (Institute for Fiscal Studies).
