Downward Social Mobility
Social mobility is a good for those who are able to move up in life, but movement can go in both directions. Jo Fidgen explores the implications of downward social mobility.
Social mobility is a good thing - right? Politicians worry that not enough people from less-privileged backgrounds get the opportunity to move up in life.

Producer: Charlotte McDonald.
