Resum:	This paper aims at contributing to understand the interplay of personal and structural determinants of educational mobility. This study examines intergenerational educational mobility across 21 European countries, focusing on the role of individual and national factors in fostering upward mobility. Using data from the European Social Survey (2008-2020), the research begins by estimating absolute and relative mobility rates and continues analyzing the impact of individual attributes such as gender, ethnicity, and parental occupation, as well as macroeconomic variables, like income inequality and inflation, on upward educational mobility. The results obtained through regression analysis reveal that upward mobility is more likely among women and those from lower parental occupational backgrounds, whereas the effects of ethnic and immigrant status vary by context. At the national level, higher government education expenditure and household savings prove to be positively associated with mobility, while inflation serves as a barrier. Notably, income inequality's effect on mobility highlights complex regional dynamics.
