2023 State of the Nation report: People and Places

Our Chair, Alun Francis OBE, discussed our 2023 State of the Nation report: People and Places, charting the evolving social mobility landscape across the United Kingdom.

The event provided an opportunity to find out more about:

- How our State of the Nation report extends and builds on the work we started in 2022 and contains important new elements - looking at full mobility outcomes, intermediate (early-life) outcomes, and drivers, with breakdowns by geography and personal characteristics.

- Our new Data Explorer Tool - this new Tool is a unique interactive system which will be a game-changer for policy makers addressing regional inequality and social mobility. It will allow information on income, occupation and education to be broken down by regions, ethnicity, gender and disability.
