Abstract
CASTANEDA ABASCAL, Ileana Elena and DIAZ BERNAL, Zoe. Social inequality and gender. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2020, vol.46, n.4 Epub Feb 08, 2021. ISSN 1561-3127.
Introduction:
There is a political and scientific interest in deepening the theoretical foundations related to social and gender inequalities, especially if they constitute iniquities that lead to health problems.
Objective:
To systematize knowledge about social and gender inequalities and their involvement in the population´s health.
Methods:
A documentary review study of scientific literature published in SciELO and Medline was conducted through the use of formal content analysis, which allowed to get to the ideas expressed.
Conclusions:
This study has been able to systematize the theoretical foundations of inequality and inequity and the theoretical models that underpin it. The health-disease-care process manifests itself differently depending on the social and gender situation of human communities.
Keywords : Social inequalities; gender; health.
