Social Mobility and Its Enemies

內容簡介

內容簡介 英國教育慈善機構薩頓信託首席執行長Lee Elliot Major和倫敦政經學院經濟績效中心研究總監Stephen Machin探討英國社會階級流動性低下及菁英教育被中產階級獨佔議題造成社會階級流動性下降的主因是什麼？教育制度是如何幫助或阻礙人們改變人生際遇？為何跨越父母，邁向上一層社會階級是如此困難？和美國最大的差異，英國擁有西方世界最低下的社會階級流動體系。導致許多人被困在和上一輩同樣的收入水平和社會階級中，許多人壯志難酬，造成國家巨大的社會經濟損失。本書分析英國多年來社會階層流動的變化，包括校園中角色的轉變和就讀大學是否創造更公平的未來等議題，以及令某些國家和區域更加富裕的關鍵，以清晰易懂的分析，幫助人們塑造更美好的未來與契機。 What are the effects of decreasing social mobility?How does education help - and hinder - us in improving our life chances?Why are so many of us stuck on the same social rung as our parents?Apart from the USA, Britain has the lowest social mobility in the Western world. The lack of movement in who gets where in society - particularly when people are stuck at the bottom and the top - costs the nation dear, both in terms of the unfulfilled talents of those left behind and an increasingly detached elite, disinterested in improvements that benefit the rest of society.This book analyses cutting-edge research into how social mobility has changed in Britain over the years, the shifting role of schools and universities in creating a fairer future, and the key to what makes some countries and regions so much richer in opportunities, bringing a clearer understanding of what works and how we can better shape our future.
