Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Gender Studies
  • Sociology of Work

Background:

  • Public health is recognized as a gendered profession.
  • Despite comprising the majority of the workforce, women experience power imbalances and limited opportunities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically examine gender inequity within the public health workforce.
  • To provide a multidimensional analysis based on existing literature.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis.
  • Multidimensional critique of gender disparities.

Main Results:

  • Identified three key disparities: unequal leadership representation, persistent wage discrimination, and disparities in scholarly publication and citations.
  • Noted that these inequities are often exacerbated for women with intersectional identities (e.g., race, ethnicity).

Conclusions:

  • Gender inequity in public health is a structural problem requiring multilevel solutions (micro, interactional, macro).
  • The evolving workforce and practitioners' skills offer opportunities to tackle these systemic issues.
