Abstract
Inequality may be the direct cause of a lack of wellbeing, but more often it has an impact on society through intermediate variables, which are generally socio-cultural or socioeconomic in nature. It refers to a myriad of inequalities, including unequal access to water and sanitation, nutrition, health, employment, housing, education, social security and free time. Policies to reduce inequality in the long term do not necessarily directly focus on income inequality, but on factors like education and skills that help to increase income and therefore reduce poverty. With better skills and a higher education, people may get a job more easily and earn more money. In other words, inequality can be reduced by improving the intermediate variables of education and skills, which lead to a higher income and less poverty. In the socioeconomic sphere, improving the intermediate variables of education and skills, which lead to a higher income and less poverty.References
