  • Description: We use a representative panel dataset to estimate the upward mobility of education in South Korea. Generally, over 57.2% of individuals attain education level greater than or equivalent to their parents regarding their relative ranks. We also compare the upward mobility between senior and young parent groups. The results indicate an increase over time in the upward mobility of education in Korea. Our findings may help design appropriate education-related policies regarding inequality in education
