Abstract
The benefits of social mobility seem to be widely agreed on. The idea that a person’s opportunities and earnings should not be defined by their background is supported across the political spectrum. Despite this, attempts to make society more mobile and to equalise opportunities have proved to be frustrating and complex. And nor is it easy for the people who do achieve this goal.Our research suggests that people who move away from their roots can find the experience challenging. This is especially true if colleagues and employers are not supportive.
