1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 The U.S.-China Fight to Understand and Address Inequality Inequality in the United States and China&nbsp;remains&nbsp;problematic as policymakers grapple with&nbsp;high costs, tepid&nbsp;employment, and&nbsp;an uncertain&nbsp;global economy. Social policy scholars work to highlight the visible and invisible factors contributing to inequality in both countries. Common solutions have&nbsp;emerged&nbsp;over&nbsp;time&nbsp;like a focus on&nbsp;children’s education&nbsp;and&nbsp;women’s empowerment. Despite&nbsp;best&nbsp;efforts,&nbsp;common challenges&nbsp;have also persisted. While cultural contexts differ, the shared fight against poverty and other forms of inequality could provide a basis for collaborative U.S.-China efforts in the future.&nbsp; Qin Gao&nbsp;joined us on&nbsp;Feb 26,&nbsp;2026 to share her observations of common themes and challenges the United States and China face in fighting inequality and her story starting out in the social policy field.
