Class casts a long shadow: graduates from disadvantaged backgrounds earn 13% less a decade after leaving university; a gap larger than headline gender pay gaps.

Controling for University & course choice this gap drops to around 7%, but when you compare graduates with the same degree, from the same university *and* the same employer, a gap remains. Around 5% lower pay persists; over £2,800 a year.

Think class is a thing of the past?
