abstract: 'Gender inequalities in health have been widely described, but few
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
studies have examined the upstream sources of these inequalities in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health. The objectives of this review are 1) to identify empirical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
papers that assessed the effect of gender equality policies on gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequalities in health or on womens health by using between-country (or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
administrative units within a country) comparisons and 2) to provide an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
example of published evidence on the effects of a specific policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(parental leave) on womens health. We conducted a literature search
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
covering the period from 1970 to 2012, using several bibliographical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
databases. We assessed 1,238 abstracts and selected 19 papers that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
considered gender equality policies, compared several countries or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
different states in 1 country, and analyzed at least 1 health outcome
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
among women or compared between genders. To illustrate specific policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effects, we also selected articles that assessed associations between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parental leave and womens health. Our review partially supports the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hypothesis that Nordic social democratic welfare regimes and dual-earner
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
family models best promote womens health. Meanwhile, enforcement of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reproductive policies, mainly studied across US states, is associated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with better mental health outcomes, although less with other outcomes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Longer paid maternity leave was also generally associated with better
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mental health and longer duration of breastfeeding.'
