Report launch: Intergenerational Social Mobility in Mozambique

On 26 February 2025, the Inclusive Growth in Mozambique (IGM) programme will organize the launch of a report titled ‘Intergenerational Social Mobility in Mozambique’. The event will take place at the Complexo Pedagógico, UEM Campus, in Maputo, Mozambique at 10:30-12:45.

The event will be structured around a presentation of the report, followed by remarks by a Discussant and a Q&A session on the results and implications of the study.

The report is part of the analysis of the results of the Vulnerable Lives Survey (VLS) 2024, carried out under the IGM programme in 2024. The study provides compelling insights into patterns of intergenerational social mobility in Mozambique. Estimates of upward and downward mobility are provided for education and occupation, as well as both multidimensional and subjective well-being. These insights add an important perspective to existing national poverty assessments and available studies of inequality and well-being.

Please note that the language used for this in-person event will be Portuguese, and no simultaneous interpretation will be available. 

Photographs taken during the event will be used for publicity purposes afterward.
