Social mobility index ranking of countries in Africa 2020, by global ranking position

The ranking considers 82 countries across the world, comprising eight African countries (here-listed), and 74 countries elsewhere.

The Global Social Mobility Index is an aggregate index score calculated based on a selection of indicators that measure a country's social mobility. The areas measured include health, education, technology, work, social protection, and inclusive institutions. The aggregation of indicators in these focus areas allows to calculate a "progress score" which ranges from 0 to 100; the higher the score, the more that particular economy provides equal opportunities for social advancement.
