If you’re a woman living in a deprived area of England, you are likely to die seven years younger than if you were living in an affluent area. If you attend a private school, by the time you are 40 you can expect to earn 35% more than a former state school pupil. And if you are homeless as an adult, you were almost certainly poor and working class as a child.

In June 2023, Faiza Shaheen comes to Intelligence Squared to argue that  social mobility is collapsing in Britain and the government’s leveling up strategy does not work.

She offered a manifesto for how we can reverse these trends and create a healthier, happier and less hierarchical society. Join us, hear the arguments and ask your questions.
