Building upon extensive research into modern British society, this
book traces out trends in social mobility and their relation to
educational inequalities, with surprising results. Contrary to what
is widely supposed, Bukodi and Goldthorpe's findings show there has
been no overall decline in social mobility - though downward
mobility is tending to rise and upward mobility to fall - and
Britain is not a distinctively low mobility society. However, the
inequalities of mobility chances among individuals, in relation to
their social origins, have not been reduced and remain in some
respects extreme. Exposing the widespread misconceptions that
prevail in political and policy circles, this book shows that
educational policy alone cannot break the link between inequality
of condition and inequality of opportunity. It will appeal to
students, researchers, policy makers, and anyone interested in the
issues surrounding social inequality, social mobility and
education.
