Debate and Launch of the WHO Fair Share for Health and Care Report: Side Event at the Sixty-eighth session of the Commission on the Status of Women on 13 March 2024 (full event recording)
Fair Share for Health and Care: Gender and the Undervaluation of Health and Care Work is a new data driven WHO report, and part of WHO’s continuous building of an evidence-base to guide policy-making/legislation, mobilize resources, and provide support to advance gender equality for health and care workers. The new report illustrates how gender inequalities in health and care work negatively impact women, health systems and health outcomes at large.

In line with the 2024 CSW priority theme, Accelerating the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls by addressing poverty and strengthening institutions and financing with a gender perspective, the report that picks up where the 2022 Gender Pay Gap report left off – shows that the undervaluation of health and care work is anchored in harmful gender norms and that the underinvestment in the sector is a barrier to women’s economic empowerment.

The report presents evidence on the extent of undervaluation of health and care work, the vast negative implications for women both personally and professionally, and its impact health system performance. It presents ways to change a negative spiral, and make a strong evidence based call to action.
