You can download the full report here to see results for every country and the complete methodology.
Each country receives a score from 0 to 10 and is ranked among 132 countries. The overall social mobility score is comprised of three pillar scores, and each pillar is the average of two sub-pillars. A higher score is associated with a better environment for social mobility and a better rank. The country with the best score is ranked 1st.
Countries are colored on the map based on the quartile for their overall score or the respective pillar. Maps for the sub-pillars shade each country from a pale tint at a score of 0 to a deep shade at 10. Sub-pillar rankings are shown on the sidebar.
