Summary
Inequality in the United States and China remains problematic as policymakers grapple with high costs, tepid employment , and an uncertain global economy . Social policy scholars work to highlight the visible and invisible factors contributing to inequality in both countries. Common solutions have emerged over time like a focus on children's education and women's empowerment . Despite best efforts, common challenges 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. Qin Gao joined us on Feb 26, 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.
