Social mobility is a politically driven catch phrase that fundamentally ignores the natural factors that lead to mobility. The vast majority of the countries who are considered the leaders in "social mobility" are Western European countries with homogeneous populations. Sweden, Netherlands, etc. A country with a naturally diverse population of over 300,000,000 people will of course lag behind such countries.
