“…Consistent with our finding, other studies have shown that while the majority of the healthcare workforce is female, women are still underrepresented in healthcare leadership positions [46][47][48][49]. Women represent 70 to 80% of the total of the workforce; however, only 24% reach senior executive positions, and furthermore, only 18% of women occupied general manager positions in hospitals [50,51].…”

“…There was an analysis based on median wages from the Labour Force Survey data compiled by the International Labour Organization (2000-2018, over 104 countries) where 21 countries showed an average gender pay gap of around 28% exists in the health workforce [51].

This is not due to a lack of career commitment, desire or years of education; it is due to systemic gender bias and a lack of opportunity for advancement in health care, like other sectors (Betron et al, 2019). Even though the representation of women within the medical profession is improving, a Canadian Medical Association (2018) report showed that barriers in the sector were similar to those experienced by women across sectors: ‘discrimination and bias at the individual and systemic levels continue to create barriers to their advancement, health and livelihood’ (p. 3).…”

“…As desigualdades de gênero envolvem estratégias complexas que precisam ser pensadas no atravessamento do cotidiano e suas interconexões com o mundo público. Para viabilizar mudanças, é necessário que mais mulheres alcancem posições de liderança na sociedade, na academia e no governo (38,55), e também estabeleçam relações de equilíbrio no espaço doméstico.…”
