SWA2014-Mobility | Figure 3Q | Intergenerational mobility and income inequality in 22 countries
Note: The higher the Gini coefficient, the higher the inequality. The higher the intergenerational elasticity, the lower the extent of mobility. Equation for the trend line is y = 1.1253x ‒ 0.0202 and the R² = 0.5934.
