# Introduction
This section will introduce the reader to the concern of inequality in the World of Work (WoW),
and present a discussion on why policy interventions are needed to address these disparities.
This study presents a systematic scoping review of the current literature concerning inequalities in the world of work.
It attempts to trace the main mechanisms and channels of the interventions employed in the global world of work to reduce its inequalities,
while simultaneously investigating the methodologies and indicators used in evidence-based research on them to systematically elaborate the current state of the art on inequalities in the world of work.
# Labour market policies: concepts, functions, typologies and actors
This section will present a typology of policies that directly or indirectly tackle inequalities in the WoW both within the labour market and outside this domain (e.g. education policy).
In order to define the typology of policy areas,
it will be critical to review previous ILO work, in particular de documents outlined by the ToR.
Based on this typology, we will then develop a theory of change to depict policy objectives, components, inputs and functions of distinct types of interventions outlined in the typology.
The section will also identify the theoretical mechanisms and channels through which policies are expected to impact inequalities in forms of work and labour market outcomes.
The following section presents a typology of policies that directly or indirectly tackle inequalities in the WoW both within the labour market and outside this domain (e.g. education policy).
The section also makes an attempt to clearly identify the theoretical mechanisms and channels through which policies are expected to impact inequalities in forms of work and ultimate labour market outcomes.
The ILO has a policy approach to reducing inequalities in the world of work segmented into five major focus areas:
employment creation, access to education, labour rights protection, formalization, gender equality and diversity, and social protection [@ILO2022b].
Each of these areas in turn rests on a variety of more specific emphases which further describe the potential implemented policy measures.
## Policy areas
The rest of the study is structured as follows:
Section 2 will introduce the world of work, as well as the ILO's approach to inequalities within it, and provide a variety of other recent approaches to make sense of inequalities in the world of work.
Section 3 will then introduce the method applied in the scoping review of this study, before introducing the initial identified literature as a coherent sample.
Section 4 will synthesize findings on a variety of intervention found in the literature, organized by general policy area of intervention pursued.
Section 5 will then provide a brief discussion on these findings from the perspective of individual inequalities, the interventions found to reduce them, and resulting policy implications, before Section 6 briefly concludes.
