APHDR Technical Background Paper 2010/03

June 17, 2015

This paper seeks to bridge these gaps in the literature by examining the links, if any, between gender, health inequities and economic inequities in the Asia-Pacific region, documenting good practices in promoting gender equity in these two spheres through addressing the links, and suggesting policy measures to promote gender equity in health and economic status in the future. The focus of this paper is not just on gender, women’s health and women’s economic status, but also that of men and of gender/sexual minorities. The broader purpose of this paper is to contribute to the drafting of United Nations Development Programs (UNDP) Asia-Pacific Human Development Report (HDR) 2009 which focuses on Gender.
