Note: In this table, intergenerational mobility in education refers to the situation in which children attain higher educational level than one or both parents. The percentages do not add up to 100% because respondent's educational attainment, which is the same or lower than the highest level attained by one or both parents of either native- or foreign-born background, is not reported.
