Global Estimates of Opportunity and Mobility

Mapping equality of opportunity and social mobility across the world

GEOM is a database documenting the extent of inherited inequality across as many countries and years as possible, using harmonized methods. It is publicly available and supplemented with a collection of data visualization tools to understand socioeconomic persistence worldwide. It is the result of a research project led by the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics and the Department of Economics and Finance at the University of Bari.
