- 5. A Broken Social Elevator? 6 main messages There is a lack of social mobility in our societies. High levels of inequality and low social mobility reinforce each others Sticky floors prevent movement at the bottom. Sticky ceilings protect better-off families at the top. This has economic, societal and political consequences It could take 5 generations for the offspring of low- income families to reach the average income level We can make our societies more mobile by designing policies promoting social mobility
