Women constitute 70% of the global health and social care workforce, but important knowledge gaps persist to effectively support decision making to optimize gender equity. In this Editorial introducing a new thematic series on 'Research to support evidence-informed decisions on optimizing gender equity in health workforce policy and planning,' we are calling for submissions focusing on research concerning the monitoring, evaluation and accountability of human resources for health policy options through a gender equity lens. We are particularly interested to receive manuscripts advancing the innovative use of data and methodologies in the areas of occupational segregation, decent work, gender pay gap and gendered leadership in the health workforce that could be reproducible across different country contexts.
女性占全球卫生和社会保健劳动力的 70%,但为了有效支持决策以优化性别平等,仍存在重要的知识差距。在这篇介绍“支持通过优化卫生人力政策和规划中的性别平等来优化证据知情决策的研究”新专题系列的社论中,我们呼吁提交重点关注通过性别平等视角监测、评估和报告人力资源政策选择的研究。我们特别感兴趣收到在职业隔离、体面工作、性别薪酬差距和卫生劳动力中的性别领导等领域创新使用数据和方法的手稿,这些方法在不同的国家背景下具有可复制性。
