@ anonymous 11.38 All the cool kids are using something called Google these days. You should Goo... ask your butler about it. Then next time you might be able to find the answer to your question: http://www.primecommitment.org/definitions?iframe=true&width=600&height=70% @ Waynella Thanks for your thorough and insightful analysis. If you're not a partner already, you'll soon be there! Lesser mortals might have pondered the correlation between income distribution when someone enters the workforce and intergenerational mobility in terms of income or occupation class (greater inequality means it's harder to move up or down). They might also have pondered that the income inequality in the UK has got a lot worse since the period looked at by the Milburn report, suggesting that kids from a poorer background born in the last ten years and the future are in for a much tougher time making a career for themselves. But what would they know. Anyone genuinely interested in the issues could do worse than read the report of the National Inequality Panel: http://eprints.lse.ac.uk/28344/1/CASEreport60.pdf
