“…Further, the resources available to those who do survive long enough to “grow old” are remarkably unequal (Abramson, 2015; Brown, 2016; Cruikshank, 2009; Newman, 2004; Portacolone, 2014). Rather than being leveled away by entitlements or “selective mortality” (the process whereby the most disadvantaged die early), the intertwined advantages and disadvantages that shape earlier life continue to accumulate and structure our possibilities to the end (Abramson, 2016; Calasanti & Slevin, 2001; Ferraro & Morton, 2016; Hudson, 2016; Richardson & Brown, 2016; Willson & Shuey, 2007). …”

Aging is remarkably unequal. Who survives to grow old in America and the circumstances they face once there reflect durable racial, socioeconomic, and gender inequalities that structure our lives from birth. Yet within the field of social stratification and mainstream sociology proper, examinations of the rapidly growing population of older Americans are often relegated to a “gerontological” periphery. This essay posits that the failure to place aging as a core concern in stratification and inequality is a missed opportunity. We argue for the importance of reintegrating studies on the stratification of aging and explain why such a move is necessary. Specifically, we posit that (a) examining the aging population is necessary for understanding American inequality because aging is an outcome that is ubiquitous yet highly stratified; (b) aging and being seen as “old” in a youth-focused society are stratifying processes in their own right; and (c) later life provides for analytical comparisons that are illustrative of how key mechanisms of inequality structure and stratify. After examining insights provided by a new wave of research on the aging U.S. population, we revisit the implications for understanding inequality and stratification in a graying and unequal America.

“…Las descripciones que los organismos y especialistas académicos hacen de los asis permiten distinguir tres niveles de definición de estos: Facultad Nacional de Salud Pública diseño de nuevos indicadores y mecanismos de análisis epidemiológico e interseccional, que permita reconocer y comprender la compleja interacción de los determinantes sociales de la salud [60]; por ejemplo, explicar la acción del sistema de género (en intersección con otros determinantes, como la etnia o la posición social) en la construcción de brechas de desigualdad, y gradientes en la expresión de la situación de salud y condiciones de vida de personas y grupos específicos dentro de una misma población [61,62]. Como muestra de esto, ninguno de los informes gubernamentales o reportes de investigación original refirió un análisis de las necesidades de salud a partir de los roles sociales del género; tampoco presentaron brechas de género en indicadores sociales o epidemiológicos, e incluso tienden a confundir la incorporación de este enfoque con la desagregación por sexo de los datos demográficos o epidemiológicos.…”

Objective: To identify the methodological-theoretical evolution of the Health Situation Analysis (HAS) in Latin America and the Caribbean, and analyze the challenges to implement it. Methodology: A narrative review based on research studies, reflective articles and manuals published in databases as EBSCO, PubMed, Redalyc, Scielo and Lilacs, from 2000 to 2017, related to the analysis of the population's health situation. 67 documents were chosen and analyzed and contents were compared with HAS conducted in the region. Results: The study found that the guidelines to direct the implementation of HAS reproduced an epidemiological/administrative health diagnosis model, many of which subscribe gender perspective, social determinants, intersectionality and social participation as their axis of analysis, which is demonstrated in 90 % of the 19 government reports recovered. 80 % of the 10 original research studies recovered were identified as descriptive, observational and cross-sectional studies, with little participation from first level Healthcare teams and minimum participation from populations and representatives of other

“…All the people, both men and women and rich and poor have equal opportunities in access to health services. Historically, intersectionality has been an underutilized framework in sociological research on racial/ethnic and gender inequalities in health (Richardson & Brown, 2016).…”

The purpose of this study was to: determine tersedianya data and information education by gender and level of education, aware of the available data and information in the case of health and sex, knowing the data and information economics, 4) see the data and information of social and cultural fields represented cases of early marriage.This study uses descriptive qualitative research design. Multi-case studies in this research is a social case study mainly women in Nganjuk.
