Again the report and the blog raise important questions.. I was surprised that there seems to be no reference to regional and local issues.. I'd like more data and analyissis on social class and next generation social mobility.

As a national focused report it feels right for London and the South East, but I'm not sure it fits so well for Burnley, Bradford or Bradford. Then there is Blackpool, Boston and other peripheral coastal areas.. still overwhelmingly white but with large numbers of European migrantsl.. The stats also seem a bit dated especially for MPs

On the premium from ethnic / social capital promoting education and social mobility this recent paper from Karamat Iqbal and Tariq Modood is good.
