Social mobility needs a re-boot. The narrow, economistic way of
measuring it favoured by politicians and academics is unsustainable
and is contributing to rising inequality. This timely book provides
an alternative, original vision of social mobility and a route-map
to achieving it. It examines how the term 'social mobility'
structures what success means and the impact that has on society.
Providing a new holistic approach that encompasses education, the
economy and politics, Atherton recasts the relationship with
employers, embracing radical opportunities provided by technology
and rethinking what higher education means. He also goes beyond
employment to incorporate progress in non-work areas of life. Based
on the need to improve well-being, not just income or occupation,
the book addresses one of the key issues facing 21st century
society in a new way and provides valuable insights for
policymakers and academics.
