The Social Mobility Commission published its 2023 annual report, State of the Nation: People and Places, analyzing social mobility across the UK using a new Social Mobility Index. The report measures social mobility across five dimensions—occupation, income, education, housing, and wealth—with breakdowns by geography and protected characteristics including sex, ethnicity, and disability. The report builds on the approach established in 2022 and introduces new data relating to geography and protected characteristics.
