The Sutton Trust’s Opportunity Index
The Sutton Trust’s report provides a detailed look at the geography of opportunity and social mobility in England. They examine how socio-economic background, geography and opportunity interact, with data looking at both parliamentary constituency and regional level in England. From educational attainment, to opportunities in higher education and employment, the research compares the outcomes of young people across the country, with a particular focus on the chances of social mobility for young people from lower income homes.
Alongside the report, they have published an interactive map. The map uses their rankings of constituencies in England according to a range of measures across the life-course, from school attainment to earnings, for young people eligible for free school meals (FSM) at secondary school, allowing for a more granular look at outcomes in different areas across the country.
