Institutions of Economic Policy

A Comparative Analysis

Are there social lifts? Employment as a ladder

The general perception is that social mobility across generations has declined in the past years, and the wealth and social positions of parents excessively determine the life prospects of their kids. Lack of upward mobility is unfair, but it is also a waste for society if many potential talents are missed out. Downward mobility is frightening, too: people slide back in terms of income, wealth, and social status. Illness, divorce, drugs, or alcohol – whatever the causes are, being de-classed is a personal tragedy as well as a social waste.
