List members may be interested in this event by the National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM): Event: Social Mobility Grinding to a Halt? New Evidence from the Census and Birth Cohort Studies Date and venue: 13 November 2014 (12.15-5pm), British Academy, 10-11 Carlton House Terrace, London Further info and registration: http://go.soton.ac.uk/63x There is widespread consensus amongst policy-makers and media commentators that social mobility in the UK has been ‘grinding to a halt’, or even going into reverse over recent decades. Yet the evidence underpinning this contention is, at best, weak. This is because the requirements for producing robust and accurate estimates of intergenerational social mobility are rarely met in most existing data sets. This symposium presents findings from two ESRC funded projects which make use of the UK’s unique longitudinal data resources to provide new evidence on recent trends in social fluidity in the United Kingdom.
