教育的社会背景分布与社会流动前景密切相关。为了开始预测英国未来的流动性趋势，我们收集了1958年至2000年一系列教育成果中按家庭背景划分的教育不平等证据。有证据表明，随着整体教育成就水平的提高，最近的人群中教育不平等现象有所缩小。只要劳动力市场对这些资质的回报保持不变，这可能有利于流动性。然而，在较高的学历水平上，顽固的背景不平等意味着在整个教育分配中缩小不平等和扩大机会平等是一项艰巨的任务。
The distribution of education by social background and the mobility prospects of society are intimately connected. To begin to predict future trends in mobility in the UK we bring together evidence on educational inequality by family background for cohorts from 1958 to 2000 for a range of educational outcomes. There is evidence that educational inequalities have narrowed among recent cohorts as the overall level of educational achievement has increased. This could be promising for mobility provided the labour market returns to these qualifications are maintained. However, stubborn inequalities by background at higher attainment levels imply that narrowing inequalities and expanding equality of opportunity throughout the educational distribution is a difficult task.
