Special Issue: Gendered Ageism in Healthcare: A Critical Analysis of Structural Inequities
Edited by: Dr. Elisabeth Langmann, Dr. Sandra Kurkowski, PD Dr. Nadia Primc
The International Journal for Equity in Health is calling for submissions to our Collection on “Gendered Ageism in Healthcare: A Critical Analysis of Structural Inequities”.
As populations age globally, healthcare systems are faced with the challenge of responding equitably to the diverse needs of an ageing population. Yet, systemic barriers persist, particularly at the intersection of ageism and sexism. Gendered ageism, a phenomenon characterized by the compounded effects of these biases, has profound implications for the access to, the planning, delivery and outcomes of healthcare. It disproportionately impacts individuals marginalized by age, gender, and other intersecting factors, often silencing their voices and rendering their needs invisible within healthcare systems.
This special issue seeks to critically examine gendered ageism as a structural, social as well as ethical challenge in healthcare.
Submission Deadline: 19 December 2025
