📝 Plot: Inspired by true events, two gifted sisters from a modest Paris suburb dream of becoming classical musicians. Facing social barriers, prejudice, and financial hardship, they pursue excellence and recognition in a world that was not built for them, driven by discipline, solidarity, and an unshakable belief in music’s power.

We need to build better and more equitable education systems. How rich you are born today influences way too much your chances at educational and professional success. Social mobility should be maximized!

There is a cynical pandering by mainstream Irish parties on issues of migration. It’s particularly notable in some of the stances taken by FG.
Rather that combatting disinformation, some have opted for a me too embrace of fear based xenophobic politics.
Its shameful stuff and a distraction from the glacial pace in governance addressing #affordability, the #HousingCrisis, physical and social #infrastructure, and #SocialMobility
This looks set to be a brilliant event on understanding the needs of lower-income families, with many great speakers, including CPC-CG member Athina Vlachantoni, who will discuss how we should properly value both paid and unpaid work.

"No wonder the American Dream took such a beating in the July 2025 Wall Street Journal-NORC at the University of Chicago poll. Just 25% of people surveyed believed they “had a good chance of improving their standard of living,” the lowest figure since the survey began in 1987. And according to 70% of respondents, the American Dream no longer holds true or never did. That figure is the highest in 15 years.
In full carnival barker mode, Trump is once again claiming “we have the hottest economy on Earth.” But the respondents to the Wall Street Journal-NORC poll aren’t buying it. Just 17% agreed that the U.S. economy “stands above all other economies.” And more than twice that many, 39%, responded that “there are other economies better than the United States.” It’s a hard sell when the inflation-adjusted weekly wages of nonsupervisory workers are still lower than what they had been in 1973, now more than half a century ago.
And economic worries are pervasive. Three-fifths (59%) of respondents were concerned about their student loan debt, more than two-thirds (69%) were concerned about housing, and three-quarters (76%) were concerned about health care and prescription drug costs.
Rising housing costs have hit young adults especially hard. The median price of a home in 1990 was three times the median household income. In 2023, that figure had reached nearly five times the median household income. And the average age of a first-time homebuyer had increased from 29 in 1980 to 38 in 2024."

Peter Füssy for the Urban Cycling Institute, explores how children’s books reinforce car-oriented thinking from an early age and argues that radical children’s literature can help reimagine urban futures by challenging motonormativity and opening space for alternative mobility imaginaries.

There's an interesting paradox in the focus on social mobility in much education & social policy.
If status (which is what social mobility is partly about) is relative & is quite strongly related to income, then for people to rise up the ranks (to be socially mobile upwards) others, must surely be falling, either in absolute or relative terms.
(And for anyone about to quote the 'lump of labour' fallacy, this is why I focussed on relative status not absolute incomes.)
South Korea’s social mobility “ladder” is under scrutiny as soaring real estate prices, education inequality, and shifting government policies fuel public frustration, even as the KOSPI hits record highs and officials urge a move from property to equities for wealth accumulation.
