Examining the transnational preventive healthcare utilisation of a group of Eastern European migrants living full-time in another European state
Migrants in Europe are shown to have consistently lower uptake of preventive healthcare compared to European host populations. This paper examines how the transnational preventive care use of Eastern European migrants in their country of origin may be associated with preventive care uptake in their European host country. Preventive care use data in Ireland was collected on 119 Polish migrants and 123 native Irish from June 2018 to September 2019.…

Do people with private health insurance attach a higher value to health than those without insurance? Results from an EQ-5D-5 L valuation study in Ireland
Examining the transnational health preferences of a group of Eastern European migrants relative to a European host population using the EQ-5D-5L
The concept of transnationalism may provide an alternative rationale to observed differences in patterns of migrant healthcare use and health-related behaviours. In this study, we examined the health preferences of Eastern European migrants residing in another European state relative to comparable natives through the prism of transnationalism. For the analysis, we focused on the health preferences of 87 Polish migrants living full-time in Ireland…
Advancing Gender Equality in Bangladesh
In 1994, BRAC, the world's largest NGO, made headlines by putting women's rights centre stage in Bangladesh, one of the poorest countries in the world. The Gender Quality Action Learning (GQAL) Programme was one of the very first large-scale efforts to mainstream gender equality and aimed to weave objectives of gender equality throughout its own microfinance, education and health services. Advancing Gender Equality in Bangladesh describes the his…
No Shortcuts to Shifting Deep Structures in Organisations
In the late 1990s an international feminist network, Gender at Work, wrote about the ‘deep structure’ of organisations through which gender discriminatory norms and power relations are reproduced. In this article, the authors reflect on the evolution since the Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing in 1995 of Gender at Work's theory and practice on approaches to shift deep structure. The Gender at Work Analytical Framework, used by doze…
Why gender matters in activism
Social justice movements are able to generate deep and lasting changes that policy change and development interventions alone cannot achieve. However, in many cases, women's rights and gender justice remain low on the priorities of movements, even when women are active members. This article offers a preview of three case studies developed as part of the BRIDGE Cutting Edge programme on gender and social movements, which aims to inspire and suppor…
New social and health movements
The potential of social movements to accomplish change relevant to people's health, longevity and empowerment has received little sustained attention in medical sociology outside the USA. In the current era of global or disorganized capitalism the most discussed movements in Europe have been the new social movements (NSMs). In this paper the NSMs are defined and discussed in terms of their actual and potential impact in the health domain. Within …
Is there life after gender mainstreaming
development agencies. We argue for changes which re-delineate who does what, what counts, who gets what, and who decides. We also argue for changes in the institutions that mediate resources, and women’s access, voice, and influence. We outline key challenges, as well as ways to envision change a n d strengthen the capacity of State and development organisations to deliver better on women’s rights
Institutions, organisations and gender equality in an era of globalisation
Development organisations can play a significant role in supporting women in the communities where they work to challenge unequal gender relations. The authors of this article argue that the majority of development organisations fail to do so because they pay insufficient attention to the importance of social institutions in perpetuating inequality. Two prominent approaches to gender mainstreaming emphasise organisational infrastructure and cultu…

Researching Cultural Differences in Health
Tobacco smoking is the most important cause of premature death in developed countries and is rapidly becoming so in the developing world.Currently, about 3 million people die annually from this cause and this figure is expected to rise to 10 million over the next 25 years.As might be expected from two such eminent editors as Richard Doll and John Crofton, their book provides an authorative account of the knowledge acquired over the past 40 years …
Organisational learning
Learning organisations and their focus on fundamental change have been seen as having considerable potential for making organisations more gender equitable and improving their capacity to undertake development or human rights work that is not gender biased. This article, developed by the Gender at Work Collaborative, explores the usefulness of ideas related to learning organisations in changing institutions for gender equality. While this collect…
Leadership for social transformation
This article affirms the importance of changing the rules, not playing by them, if we are to transform institutions so that they reflect and promote gender equality. It describes how institutions block efforts to promote gender equality, and suggests that recent efforts to 'professionalise' NGOs have exacerbated this tendency. However, NGOs are also currently concerned with 'organisational learning', and this may offer them a 'third way' which co…
Gender lost and gender found
The Gender Quality Action-Learning (GQAL) Programme of BRAC, a large rural development NGO in Bangladesh, is described and analysed. This Programme works with male and female field-staff and managers in a process of issue-analysis, action planning, and implementation (the GQAL cycle) to address organizational change and programme quality concerns in a way that is informed by an understanding of gender. Gender, meaning women or the relations betwe…
Engendering Organizational Change
This article analyses the first phase of an ongoing structural intervention which works at the nexus of gender relations, organizational change, and quality improvement, with a large rural development NGO in South Asia. Identifying this new issue, and acquiring and deploying knowledge around it within the organization has involved definition and continuous reiteration of basic premises concerning gender, individual learning and systems developmen…
