The education system delivers more equitable outcomes than the systems of most other OECD countries, as indicated by a smaller impact of pupils’ socioeconomic background and area of residence (rural versus urban) on PISA scores (white shaded area). This is also reflected in relatively high inter-generational social mobility: the impact of parental earnings on the earnings of their offspring is relatively small. However, intra-generational mobility is relatively low: both the probability of remaining poor once fallen into poverty (indicator on poverty mobility) and the probability of staying in a given income quintile (indicator on income mobility) are high compared with other OECD countries. This does not seem to be driven by difficulties in re-entering the labour market after a spell of unemployment, as the share of long-term unemployed (defined here as those who are unemployed for more than one year) is somewhat lower than in other countries.
