Title of Talk: Gender Attitudes and U.S. Women’s Health
Abstract: For decades, demographers and social scientists have elaborated how gender and gendered experiences are relevant to health. Much of this research has focused on sex differences in morbidity and mortality, and analyses of gender gaps – effectively anchoring our discussion at the individual level. And, yet, ample evidence reminds us we live in a gendered world. I will discuss an on-going project that 1) summarizes state-level variation in beliefs about women, work, and family; and 2) explores whether and how such beliefs are related to individual women’s self-assessed health.
