This report assesses the progress that Great Britain has made towards improving social mobility.

It highlights that:

• being born privileged means you are likely to remain priviledged, whilst being born disavantaged means you may have to overcome barriers to improve you and your children’s social mobility
• urgent action needs to be taken to help close the privilege gap
