abstract: 'Background: Gender issues remain a neglected area in most approaches to
health workforce policy, planning and research. There is an accumulating
body of evidence on gender differences in health workers'' employment
patterns and pay, but inequalities in access to non-pecuniary benefits
between men and women have received little attention. This study
investigates empirically whether gender differences can be observed in
health workers'' access to non-pecuniary benefits across six low-and
middle-income countries.
Methods: The analysis draws on cross-nationally comparable data from
health facility surveys conducted in Chad, Cote d''Ivoire, Jamaica,
Mozambique, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. Probit regression models are used to
investigate whether female and male physicians, nurses and midwives
enjoy the same access to housing allowance, paid vacations, in-service
training and other benefits, controlling for other individual and
facility-level characteristics.
Results: While the analysis did not uncover any consistent pattern of
gender imbalance in access to non-monetary benefits, some important
differences were revealed. Notably, female nursing and midwifery
personnel (the majority of the sample) are found significantly less
likely than their male counterparts to have accessed in-service
training, identified not only as an incentive to attract and retain
workers but also essential for strengthening workforce quality.
Conclusion: This study sought to mainstream gender considerations by
exploring and documenting sex differences in selected employment
indicators across health labour markets. Strengthening the global
evidence base about the extent to which gender is independently
associated with health workforce performance requires improved
generation and dissemination of sex-disaggregated data and research with
particular attention to gender dimensions.'
