A new commentary published in BMJ Global Health <\/a>by Kalipso Chalkidou and Richard Sullivan explores how commonly used economic methods and data in health financing may unintentionally reinforce gender bias. Drawing on findings from The Lancet Commission: Women, Power and Cancer<\/a>, the authors examine how current approaches can overlook the economic realities faced by women, particularly in cancer care.<\/p>\n The piece highlights three areas where gender bias may be hidden: the calculation of indirect costs using the human capital approach, limitations in measuring out-of-pocket spending and distress financing, and assumptions within household survey data.
