abstract: 'This commentary brings together theory, evidence and lessons from 15
|
|
|
|
years of gender and HRH analyses conducted in health systems in six WHO
|
|
|
|
regions to address selected data-related aspects of WHO''s 2016 Global
|
|
|
|
HRH Strategy and 2022 Working for Health Action Plan. It considers
|
|
|
|
useful theoretical lenses, multi-country evidence and implications for
|
|
|
|
implementation and HRH policy. Systemic, structural gender
|
|
|
|
discrimination and inequality encompass widespread but often masked or
|
|
|
|
invisible patterns of gendered practices, interactions, relations and
|
|
|
|
the social, economic or cultural background conditions that are
|
|
|
|
entrenched in the processes and structures of health systems (such as
|
|
|
|
health education and employment institutions) that can create or
|
|
|
|
perpetuate disadvantage for some members of a marginalized group
|
|
|
|
relative to other groups in society or organizations. Context-specific
|
|
|
|
sex- and age-disaggregated and gender-descriptive data on HRH systems''
|
|
|
|
dysfunctions are needed to enable HRH policy planners and managers to
|
|
|
|
anticipate bottlenecks to health workforce entry, flows and exit or
|
|
|
|
retention. Multi-method approaches using ethnographic techniques reveal
|
|
|
|
rich contextual detail. Accountability requires that gender and HRH
|
|
|
|
analyses measure SDGs 3, 4, 5 and 8 targets and indicators. To achieve
|
|
|
|
gender equality in paid work, women also need to achieve equality in
|
|
|
|
unpaid work, underscoring the importance of SDG target 5.4. HRH policies
|
|
|
|
based on principles of substantive equality and nondiscrimination are
|
|
|
|
effective in countering gender discrimination and inequality. HRH
|
|
|
|
leaders and managers can make the use of gender and HRH evidence a
|
|
|
|
priority in developing transformational policy that changes the actual
|
|
|
|
conditions and terms of health workers'' lives and work for the better.
|
|
|
|
Knowledge translation and intersectoral coalition-building are also
|
|
|
|
critical to effectiveness and accountability. These will contribute to
|
|
|
|
social progress, equity and the realization of human rights, and expand
|
|
|
|
the health care workforce. Global HRH strategy objectives and UHC and
|
|
|
|
SDG goals will more likely be realized.'
