چه کسی دستاوردی دارد، چه کسی از دست می دهد و چگونه: اهرم تقاطع جنسیت و طبقه به استحقاق تامین سلامت

There were striking similarities between two important middle groups - non-poor women and poor men – in some key outcomes: their rates of non-treatment when ill, treatment discontinuation and treatment continuation, and the amounts they spent for treatment. These two groups are the obverse of each other in terms of gender and economic class advantage and disadvantage. Non-poor women have an economic advantage and a gender disadvantage, while poor men have the exact opposite. However, despite the similarities in outcomes, the processes by which gender and class advantage were leveraged by each of the groups varied sharply. Similar patterns held for the poorest men except that the class disadvantage they had to overcome was greater, and the results are modified by this.
