Young people highly sceptical of social mobility
Young people are highly sceptical about advancement being a reality, according to a survey from the relaunched Social Mobility Commission.
It found many young adults expected to be worse off than previous generations and believed opportunities depended on social background rather than talent.
The previous commissioners resigned over a lack of progress.
The new chair, Dame Martina Milburn, said she wanted “to create a fair system where people can thrive”.
The commission is being relaunched after the previous chair Alan Milburn and commissioners walked out a year ago, protesting that there was no sign of any “meaningful action” from the government.
