Work and Pensions written question – answered at on 26 April 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what research his Department has (a) commissioned and (b) evaluated on the effect on social mobility of levels of poverty.
The Department has not commissioned or undertaken analysis on the effect on social mobility of levels of poverty.
Undertaking evaluation of poverty's impact on social mobility is particularly difficult because of the absence of relevant data for long periods of time-that is, over the life-cycle and/or over more than one generation.
