“…Technological globalisation has contributed significantly to the reduction of income inequality. Unlike in highly urbanised countries, urban segregation remains a serious issue in most developing countries (Farrell, 2017), particularly in China (Qiu & Zhao, 2019;Hamnett, 2020). This study relates to a broad literature addressing income inequality in China, which has been explained by the country gap, urban-rural gap, and within-urban gap Zhou & Song, 2016;Gustafsson & Wan, 2020).…”

This paper examines the impact of financial globalisation and trade globalisation on income inequality using the Chinese urban household. It formally tests whether the effect of financial globalisation and trade globalisation on income varied at different levels in urban China between 1990 and 2017. Methodologically, it departs from the existing literature by exploiting quantile regression analysis. This methodological approach allows the testing of globalisation's impact on income at different levels. The overall quantile regression results clearly reveal that the effects of various factors on urban household income are heterogeneous, depending on the income level. In the case of financial globalisation, the coefficients are positively and statistically significant at the usual level at all quantiles. However, a closer observation reveals that the magnitude of the impacts on income is heterogeneous. More specifically, at high levels of income (i.e., the 85 th quantile), financial globalisation has a high impact on income compared to its impacts at low-income levels (i.e., the 20 th quantile). This suggests that financial globalisation has improved the income of the rich more rapidly than that of the poor, mean financial globalisation would widen income gap within urban China.

“…In regard to the gap between urban and rural areas, Qiu and Zhao (2019) mentioned "China has been experiencing rapid urbanization as the result of the most significant internal mass migration in history" (p. 57) and "urban inclusiveness changes the relative distribution of skilled and unskilled workers across Chinese cities and leads to increasing income inequality" (p. 64). Similarly, (Hu & Wang, 2019) claimed "urbanization has driven economic growth in China and other developing countries, but urban dwellers do not benefit from growth equally" (p. 51).…”

Stakeholders’ perceptions of equity in providing special education and inclusive education services in China: Zero rejection and multiple provision mechanisms

A zero-rejection policy was adopted by the Chinese government to ensure that educational services are accessible to learners with a range of different needs. This included multiple provision mechanisms to ensure equal learning opportunities and a sense of belonging. This study highlights the existing gaps between males and females, basic and primary schools versus high and vocational schools, as well as urban and rural areas. Interviews with nine Chinese stakeholders provided insightful perspectives as attributions for such observed gaps. Several factors can explain the gender difference, including social (parents prefer to keep girls at home), biological (men are more vulnerable to disabilities), and demographic (males outnumber females). The disparity between rural and urban areas is caused by the movement of workers towards industrialized areas in search of work and thereby increasing the number of learners, requiring additional educational facilities. There are many rural areas that are scattered over a large distance which makes it difficult to open schools in all places. The enrolment is likely to be higher in primary and middle schools due to free compulsory education since parents tend to have difficulties managing tuition fees and living expenses for younger children attending high or vocational schools.

“…Recently, the literature has extended to the determinants of income inequality, such as equality of opportunity (Aiyar & Ebeke, 2020 ), tourism development (Nguyen et al, 2020 ), economic volatility (Chang et al, 2019 ), urban inclusiveness (Qiu & Zhao, 2019 ), economic complexity (Lee & Wang, 2020 ), and the consequences of the current pandemic (Covid-19) (Bonacini et al, 2020 ). More interestingly, a different strand of research, the Stolper–Samuelson (SS) model in Heckscher–Ohlin (HO) trade theory, provides the theoretical background for understanding the effect of trade on income inequality.…”

Previous literature has highlighted the relationship between export diversification and income inequality. The present study attempts to explore the influence of export quality on income inequality. A global sample of 92 economies consisting of 30 low- and lower-middle-income economies (LMEs), 21 upper-middle-income economies (UMEs), and 41 high-income economies (HIEs) over the period 2002–2014, is collected to create a balanced set of panel data. Using econometric techniques for balanced panel data to deal with cross-sectional dependence, heteroscedasticity, and endogeneity, we first find that the effect of export quality is negative and significant on the Gini index pre-tax and pre-transfer in LMEs and UMEs, implying that export quality reduces income inequality. Second, export quality has a positive and significant impact on income inequality in HIEs. Our findings imply that different economic policies should be considered for dealing with income inequality among different income groups of economies.
