Limitations of the study include the inability to directly identify intervention compliers and having to construct returns for each household head only and a possibly unobserved 'villagization' effect by bringing people together in community villages for their education leading to other unobserved variable impacting the returns. @Pi2016 conduct a study on the impacts of allowing increased access to social welfare provisions and education to urban migrants in China, looking at the effects on wage inequality between skilled and unskilled sectors and workers. @@ -1446,14 +1446,14 @@ which makes sense for its prevailing usefulness through a variety of indicators However, care should be taken not to over-emphasize the reliance on income inequality outcomes: they can obscure intersections with other inequalities, or diminish the perceived importance of tackling other inequalities themselves, if not directly measurable through income. -Thus, while interventions attempt to tackle the inequality from a variety of institutional, structural and agency-oriented approaches already, +Thus, while interventions attempt to approach the inequality from a variety of institutional, structural and agency-oriented approaches already, this could be further enhanced by putting a continuous focus on the closely intertwined intersectional nature of the issue. Gender inequality is an almost equally considered dimension in the interventions, a reasonable conclusion due to the inequality's global ubiquity and persistence. Most gender-oriented policy approaches tackle it directly alongside income inequality outcomes, especially viewed through gender pay gaps and economic (dis-)empowerment, -tackling it from backgrounds of structural or agency-driven interventions. +approaching it from backgrounds of structural or agency-driven interventions. While both approaches seem fruitful in different contexts, few interventions strive to provide a holistic approach which combines the individual-level with macro-impacts, tackling both institutional-structural issues while driving concerns of agency simultaneously.
