Intergenerational mobility in education is a critical indicator of the ability of a society to provide equal opportunities to future generations. This study investigates the role of per capita GDP in shaping intergenerational mobility in education across multiple countries. By examining data from diverse economies, we explore how economic prosperity affects the ability of individuals to access quality education regardless of their parental background. The study employs both statistical analysis and case study approaches to identify trends and relationships between per capita GDP and educational mobility. Our findings suggest that higher per capita GDP is positively correlated with higher educational mobility, with wealthier nations offering greater opportunities for upward mobility. However, the strength of this relationship is influenced by other socio-political factors, such as education system quality and social welfare policies. The study concludes with policy recommendations to foster greater educational equity and mobility in lower-income economies.
