Why it's harder to earn more than your parents

 
 

This film tracks the decline in social mobility in Britain and America, as well as explaining how it might be possible for those at the bottom to climb the social ladder. It was a finalist for the Wincott Awards for Financial Journalism. 

From legacy admissions in American colleges, to the role of early childhood experiences in Jamaica, to the importance of where you live, and how moving ZIP codes can improve your life chances, this film weaves complex economic ideas around compelling human stories.
