Mind the ‘inequality’ gap: intersectionality-informed scoping review of inequalities and adverse experiences of health and care workers globally

Using an intersectionality lens, this scoping review identifies three key gaps: regional evidence imbalances, lack of an explicit intersectional equity focus and absence of translation of the scant intersectional evidence into HRH policy tools. These gaps restrict global HRH planning and hinder the development of inclusive, context-specific strategies-especially in low- and middle-income countries facing the most severe workforce challenges.
