WEF is using strange definitions of “social mobility”, to say the least. How many newly made millionaires from originally poor families are there each year? Now _that’s_ social mobility, and nobody can beat America in that regard.
Speaking as a European.
- robert_foss 6y agoPeople becoming millionaires just isn't a common outcome anywhere. But moving from poverty to middle class is maybe the more important one. America is objectively bad at both.

- bserge 6y agoLooks like, once again, the USA is a country of extremes. Homeless to millionaire, no healthcare and best healthcare, least freedom and most freedom. Europe is more moderate, you can get help if you're really poor and you can become middle class; you can't medicate properly but they will save your life for free; you've got basic freedoms but the ceiling is lower, etc.
- atemerev 6y agoI like extremes.
