India ranks 76th on WEF's Social Mobility Index, Denmark tops the list
India
has been ranked very low at 76th place out of 82 countries on a new
Social
Mobility
Index compiled by the World Economic Forum, while Denmark has topped
the charts.
The
report, released ahead of the 50th Annual Meeting of the WEF, also
lists India among the five countries that stand to gain the most from
a better social mobility score that seeks to measure parameters
necessary for creating societies where every person has the same
opportunity to fulfil his potential in life irrespective of
socioeconomic background.
Increasing
social mobility, a key driver of income inequality, by 10 per cent
would benefit social cohesion and boost the world's economies by
nearly 5 per cent by 2030, the WEF said.
But,
few economies have the right conditions to foster social mobility.
