People who grew up in a working class family are more satisfied in later life than those from a higher class background according to new research. The study also found that English people who climb the social ladder are more content and happy when they get older than people in the States who are similarly upwardly mobile. The research sought to find out whether social mobility makes people happier in later life while taking into account people’s living conditions.
