The latest “State of the Nation” report from the Social Mobility Commission presents a much less detailed geographical analysis of regional differences in social mobility. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/social-mobility-in-great-britain-state-of-the-nation-2018-to-2019
The accompanying press release set out a much stronger emphasis on “class privileges” when compared against the 2017 report which drew our attention to challenges of poor social mobility in more rural regions, and notably here in the East Midlands.
One wonders why the spatial variability has now been relegated to 4 pages towards the end of the report (123-127) when the urgent need for spatial rebalancing of the UK economy and society remains a key issue.
