Percentage of people who experienced long-range downward occupational mobility (22263) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the percentage of people aged 25 to 64 from higher professional backgrounds who experienced long-range downward occupational mobility into the working classes.
The Social Mobility Commission (SMC) publishes an annual report on the State of the Nation. Mobility outcomes look at where people end up, typically in their 40s or 50s. They look at people’s socio-economic class, income, education and housing. An individual experiences intergenerational social mobility when their life outcomes, such as their type of occupation, differ from their parents’. Change across generations, and the link between parents and children, are the core of social mobility. Change can be upwards or downwards.
Absolute occupational mobility class categories are based on the National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (‘NS-SEC’), set by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The data used is weighted using the Labour Force Survey (LFS) probability weights.
This data is published at ITL2 level and therefore local authorities may show identical values. Data is not available for England or English Regions.
