Abstract<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This three-year project aims to develop an evidence base for the roles of gender inequality in shaping women’s health in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Using the life course framework, it will illustrate a series of novel pathways linking gender inequality and gender-based adversities with the health and well-being of women in mid and later life. The project aims to produce research publications on the topic, establish a global research network on gender inequality and later-life health, and develop a policy document containing a summary of key research findings, research and data gaps, as well as policy suggestions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Prof._Kriti_project_map\"\n\t
