“…In a capitalistic mode growth process, often few social groups and states become top earners and captured a larger share of the overall income gains, while for others income has raised only a little. Interestingly, in spite of fall in absolute poverty, economic inequalities are going up (Ortiz and Cummins, 2013). Similarly, the progress of demographic and health transition in developing countries has resulted in a more skewed distribution of health, which 7 The terms homeostatic regime is denote the existence of a system of relationships between the fertility, mortality and nuptiality characteristics of a community and its socioeconomic circumstances so that any movement away from an initial pos ition of equilibrium tends to provoke changes elsewhere in the system which restore the original state" (Pressat, 1985:97).…”

“…Although austerity policies have been imposed in over a hundred countries around the world (Ortiz and Cummins, 2013), the Eurozone has felt their effects particularly strongly, experiencing a second, politically induced recession when EU institutions opted for fiscal consolidation.

This paper analyses the consequences of the latest recession and austerity measures for the working and living conditions of women and men in Spain, as well as the extent to which gender and other related inequalities are being modified or aggravated. Women are taking on additional responsibilities in terms of unpaid care work due to welfare cuts and privatization, while still facing discrimination in the labour market and in accessing resources and decision -making centres. This refamiliarization of care, together with increasing job insecurity, could have a major negative impact on the well -being of women and their present and future opportunities, which may endanger the fragile gains achieved in terms of gender equality.

A new set of post-2015 development goals for the world is being negotiated. Several potential goals relating to sustainable development, poverty, the economy and health have been identified. Many of them have potential public health gains, although there are inadequacies in how several of them have been defined. In participating in finalization of these goals, Canada should strengthen its commitments to maternal/child health; promote its publicly funded health system as an important model for universal health coverage; incorporate stronger protections for public health in trade and investment treaties; use its foreign aid to help low-and middle-income countries build the transparent and progressive tax systems to mobilize domestic revenues for health; and promote global systems of taxation to prevent tax evasion and illicit capital flight.KEY WORDS: Public health; social determinants of health; world health La traduction du résumé se trouve à la fin de l'article.
