State of the Nation 2023 Launch: People and Places

On Tuesday 12th September 2023 at 13:30 the Social Mobility Commission will be launching our annual State of the Nation report. This year’s report extends and builds on the work we started in 2022 and contains important new elements. We have done this by looking at full mobility outcomes, intermediate (early-life) outcomes, and drivers, with breakdowns by geography and personal characteristics. 

On the same day, we will be releasing our Data Explorer Tool. This new Tool is a unique interactive system which will be a breakthrough for policy makers to address regional inequality and social mobility. It will allow information on income, occupation and education to be broken down by regions, ethnicity, gender and disability.

We will be hosting a small launch event for MPs and stakeholders in the House of Commons where we will discuss the current state of social mobility in the UK, and the findings of our analysis into both regional variation and individual characteristics.
