Project
In all European countries, social inequalities in health remain high. A wide body of research has highlighted various social factors that affect health. However, gender, as a system of power relations between women and men, is rarely considered as a key determinant of health inequalities. The purpose of GENDHI is to understand how gender intersects with other social relations systems of power relations, such as class and race (racism), to construct social inequalities in health, throughout the life course.
