Abstract

We present the first comprehensive set of estimates of variation in intergenerational social mobility across regions of Great Britain using data from the UK Labour Force Survey. Unlike the Social Mobility Index produced by the Social Mobility Commission, we focus directly on variation in measures of intergenerational social class mobility between the regions in which individuals were brought up. We define regions using the NUTS classification and we consider three levels, from 11 large NUTS1 regions, to 168 NUTS3 regions, across England, Wales, and Scotland. We investigate whether it is possible to form an index of social mobility from these measures and we address a neglected question: how much does the region in which someone was raised matter in comparison with the social class in which they were raised?

英国代际社会流动的地区差异

我们利用英国劳动力调查（UK Labour Force Survey）的数据，首次对英国各地区代际社会流动性的差异进行了全面估算。与社会流动性委员会（Social Mobility Commission）编制的社会流动性指数（Social Mobility Index）不同，我们直接关注个人在其成长地区之间代际社会阶层流动性测量的差异。我们使用 NUTS 分类来定义地区，并考虑了三个级别，从 11 个大的 NUTS1 地区到 168 个 NUTS3 地区，横跨英格兰、威尔士和苏格兰。我们研究了是否有可能从这些衡量标准中得出社会流动性指数，并解决了一个被忽视的问题：一个人成长的地区与他成长的社会阶层相比有多重要？
