Everyone will have their educational and work achievements tracked from birth to the age of 30 under radical plans to improve social mobility.
Ministers will unveil seven new ‘Life Chance Indicators’ next week as part of a plan to help children from poorer homes do better.
The indicators measure everything from a person’s weight at birth to their university achievements and earnings at the age of 30.
Five-year-olds will be tested for their ‘readiness for school’, including their academic ability and ability to listen.
The measures will be used to judge whether initiatives such as the Sure Start programme to help children from poorer homes are effective or should be scrapped.
In most cases the indicators will draw on existing data, although some new figures will have to be collected. Ministers will pledge to publish an annual report charting progress – or the lack of it – on each of the measures, and to take action where improvement is slow.

Our reason to exist is to contribute to the economy and community as “Serfs”.
The state wants to push favored people up the ladder, and disfavored people down.
If you are not a minority and achieve more than the state believes you deserve, they will step in and slap you down a few dozen notches.
