Fair share for health and care: gender and the underevaluation of health and care work

Even in the health and care sector, where on average 67 percent of employees worldwide are women, gender inequalities are omnipresent. Unfortunately, it is still the case that women have to perform a significant amount of unpaid care work. Not even those in employment receive the same pay: on average, women earn 24 percent less than men doing comparable work.  It is therefore essential to advocate for a gender-equitable health and care workforce to achieve an equitable and sustainable primary healthcare sector, orientated towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
