Atlas of Mobility proves that Education changes people’s lives for the better

The Atlas of Social Mobility, released this Friday (31), shows that among the socioeconomic indicators incorporated into the Atlas, education appeared as the dimension most associated with social mobility. Education changes people’s lives. Municipalities with better educational indicators, such as a higher Basic Education Development Index (Ideb) and a lower age-grade distortion, tend to have greater chances of upward mobility. In other words, the son of the poor has a better life economically than the father had.
