图书简介：使用健康，性别，全球化和健康的政治经济学在拉丁美洲的背景下展示了如何在拉丁美洲的卫生系统的发展是密切相关的男子参与正规劳动。这就形成了一种固有的男性偏见，这种偏见继续影响着今天的卫生服务。虽然经济自由化创造了主要由妇女从事的新工作，但这些工作未能提供同样的保健权利。作者贾斯敏·吉迪恩探讨了由此产生的紧张局势和性别不平等，这些问题在医疗保健商业化的背景下进一步加剧。
Book synopsis: Using a political economy of health, Gender, Globalization, and Health in a Latin American Context demonstrates how the development of health systems in Latin America was closely linked to men's participation in formal labor. This established an inherent male bias that continues to shape health services today. While economic liberalization has created new jobs that have been taken up mainly by women, these jobs fail to offer the same health entitlements. Author Jasmine Gideon explores the resultant tensions and gender inequalities, which have been further exacerbated in the context of health care commercialization.
