BBC Radio 4 - Analysis, Downward Social Mobility

Social mobility is good for those on the up, but what about those who go down?

Social mobility is a good for those who are able to move up in life, but movement can go in both directions. Jo Fidgen explores the implications of downward social mobility.

Social mobility is a good thing - right? Politicians worry that not enough people from less-privileged backgrounds get the opportunity to move up in life.

Producer: Charlotte McDonald.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
