【B】A new report published by the World Health Organization (WHO), “Fair share for health and care: gender and the undervaluation of health and care work” illustrates how gender inequalities in health and care work negatively impact women, health systems and health outcomes. The report reveals that underinvestment in health systems results in a vicious cycle of unpaid health and care work, lowering women’s participation in paid labor markets, harming women’s economic empowerment and hampering gender equality. Women comprise 67% of the paid global health and care workforce. In addition to this paid work, it has been estimated that women perform 76% of all unpaid care activities. Work that is done primarily by women tends to be paid less and to be carried out in poor working conditions. The report highlights that low pay and demanding working conditions are commonly found in the health and care sector. Devaluing caregiving, which is work performed primarily by women, negatively impacts wages, working conditions, productivity and the economic footprint of the sector. The report illustrates that decades of chronic underinvestment in health and care work is contributing to a growing global crisis of care. With stagnation in progress towards universal health coverage (UHC), which has resulted in 4.5 billion people lacking full coverage of essential health services, women may take on even more unpaid care work. The negative impact of weak health systems combined with an increasing volume of unpaid health and care work is further straining the wellbeing of caregivers and the quality of services. “The ‘Fair Share’ report highlights how gender-equitable investments in health and care work would reset the value of health and care and drive fairer and more inclusive economies,” said Jim Campbell, WHO Director for Health Workforce. “We are calling upon leaders, policy-makers and employers to action investment: it is time for a fair share for health and care.” Investments in health and care systems not only accelerate progress toward UHC, they redistribute unpaid health and care work. When women participate in paid health and care employment, they are economically empowered and health outcomes are better. Health systems need to recognize, value and invest in all forms of health and care work.

觀察這份報告的標題：「公平分擔醫療與照護：性別與醫療照護工作價值被低估 (undervaluation) 之現象」，如果一個事物的價值被「低估」且存在「不平等」，這通常會對該領域的發展帶來正面還是負面的預期？
