The section with conclude with reflections on the implications of findings for policy.
|
The preceding study undertook a systematic scoping review of the literature on inequalities in the world of work.
|
||||||
|
It focused on the variety of approaches to policy interventions, from institutional to structural to more agency-driven programmes,
|
||||||
|
and highlighted the inequalities targeted, analysed in subsequent study, their methods and limitations,
|
||||||
|
to arrive at a picture of which lays out the strengths and weaknesses of current approaches.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Wide gaps exist between the research on existing topics within the areas and intersections of inequalities in the world of work.
|
||||||
|
First, while regionally research on such inequalities seems relatively evenly distributed,
|
||||||
|
focus prevalence on individual inequalities varies widely.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Research into interventions preventing income inequality are still the dominant form of measured outcomes,
|
||||||
|
which makes sense for its prevailing usefulness through a variety of indicators and its use to investigate both vertical and horizontal inequalities.
|
||||||
|
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,
|
||||||
|
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.
|
||||||
|
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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Spatial inequalities are primarily viewed through rural-urban divides,
|
||||||
|
concerning welfare, opportunities and employment probabilities.
|
||||||
|
Spatially focused interventions primarily tackle infrastructural issues which should be an effective avenue since most positive interventions are focused on the structural dimension of the inequality.
|
||||||
|
However, too many interventions, especially focused on reducing income inequalities,
|
||||||
|
still do not take spatial components fully into view,
|
||||||
|
potentially leading to worse outcomes for inequalities along the spatial dimension.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Disabilities are rarely viewed through lenses other than employment opportunities.
|
||||||
|
While most interventions already focus on dimensions of strengthening agency and improved integration or reintegration of individuals with disabilities into the world of work,
|
||||||
|
a wider net needs to be cast with future research focusing on developing regions and the effects of more institutional-structural approaches before clearer recommendations can be given based on existing evidence.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ethnicity and migration provide dimensions of inequalities which are, while more evenly distributed regionally,
|
||||||
|
still equally underdeveloped in research on evidence-based intervention impacts.
|
||||||
|
Currently, there is a strong focus on institutional-structural approaches,
|
||||||
|
which seems to follow the literature in what is required for effective interventions.
|
||||||
|
However, similarly to research on inequalities based on disability, there are clear gaps in research
|
||||||
|
on ethnicity and especially migration, before clearer pictures of what works can develop.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The intertwined nature of inequalities, once recognized, requires intervention approaches which heed multi-dimensional issues and can flexibly intervene and subsequently correctly measure their relative effectiveness.
|
||||||
|
To do so, perspectives need to shift and align towards a new, more intersectional approach which can incorporate both a wider array of methodological approaches between purely quantitative and qualitative research,
|
||||||
|
while relying on indicators for measurement which are flexible yet overlapping enough to encompass such a broadened perspective.
