The creation of a more open society and improving race equality are core current policy concerns. Understanding the roles of class and ethnicity in determining life chances is critical to policies tackling inequality and promoting opportunity. This report aids such understanding by investigating the impact of class background and ethnicity on class position. Drawing on data from the ONS Longitudinal Survey, the report traces patterns of intergenerational social mobility for children from different ethnic groups growing up in England and Wales. The study focuses on children born between the late 1950s and mid 1970s. Measures of their progress and class position are compared, for the first time, with those of their parents. The report therefore provides a unique insight into 'parent-to-child' class transitions across 'first' (immigrant) and 'second' generations. Taking advantage of the new question on religion in the 2001 Census, the report also asks whether patterns of intergenerational mobility vary by religious affiliation, and whether religion can add to our understanding of ethnic group differences. "Migration And Social Mobility" is essential reading for all those wishing to know more about the extent and nature of ethnic minority achievement and disadvantage.
