"The latest evidence from an international summit the Sutton Trust is hosting with the Carnegie Corporation in London sheds new light on these drivers. It reveals how greater income inequality leads to a cycle of ever-increasing opportunity gaps between rich and poor. At the same time, educational qualifications have increasingly become the golden tickets to the professional elites and higher earnings. And so the cycle goes on. Income inequality and educational inequality reinforce each other in an endless generational feedback loop leading to an increasingly ossified society." - M F
