What are the long-term implications of the observed decline in social mobility in Spain, and what policy interventions could potentially mitigate the negative trends?

The study shows that Spain's social mobility is mid-low compared internationally, with a 10% chance of a low-income child achieving high income, below countries like Germany and Sweden.

This highlights the complex interplay between economic conditions and social mobility.
