“…Our study showed the higher probability of facing a barrier due to exams' costs for females and people with a low income, in agreement with the other literature [34]. Regarding gender gaps, it can be viewed as the result of gender differences in the Italian labor market [35]. It is well documented that on average, women earn 14.1% less per hour than men for the same position and seniority, show higher unemployment rates (20%), and have high-skilled and highly paid employment that is less than men [36,37].…”

With the ageing population, equitable access to medical care has proven to be paramount for the effective and efficient management of all diseases. Healthcare access can be hindered by cost barriers for drugs or exams, long waiting lists or difficult access to the place where the needed healthcare service is provided. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether the probability of facing one of these barriers varies among individuals with different socio-economic status and care needs, controlling for geographical variability. Methods. The sample for this study included 9629 interviews with Italian individuals, aged 15 and over, from the second wave (2015) of the European Health Interview Survey, which was conducted in all EU Member States. To model barriers to healthcare, two-level variance components of logistic regression models with a nested structure given by the four Italian macro-areas were considered. Results. Of the barriers considered in this study, only two were found to be significantly associated with healthcare utilization. Specifically, they are long waiting lists for specialist service accessibility (adjOR = 1.20, 95% CI (1.07; 1.35)) and very expensive exams for dental visit accessibility (adjOR = 0.84, 95% CI (0.73; 0.96)). Another important result was the evidence of an increasing north–south gradient for all of the considered barriers. Conclusion. In Italy, healthcare access is generally guaranteed for all of the services, except for specialist and dental visits that face a waiting time and financial barriers. However, barriers to healthcare were differentiated by income and sex. The north–south gradient for healthcare utilization could be explained through the existing differences in organizational characteristics of the several regional healthcare services throughout Italy.

“…With more than half the global population currently employed, occupational exposures are of great public health importance (Kühn, 2019). Heat exposures occur frequently in many occupations, including in both indoor and outdoor workers such as chefs, factory workers, and farmers (NIOSH, 2016).…”

“…of women's economic engagement. A report by the International Labor Organization (ILO) finds that limited access to safe transportation is likely to reduce female labour force participation rate in developing countries by 16.5 percentage points (Kühn et al 2017). Other studies have highlighted the effect of sex differences in household "roles" in influencing women to work "closer to home" (Fanning 1981).…”

Availability of safe, reliable and affordable public transport facilitates access to work opportunities. This relationship between transport and economic independence is not gender neutral. Delhi's Metro Rail Network marked a milestone in this regard as it provided a gender-sensitive means of mass transit with specific facilities for women passengers. However, the onset of Covid-19 pandemic, followed by restrictions on mobility and change in working habits, brought the urban public transport network to a standstill. Given this background, the paper explores the impact of Metro Rail Network on the commuting pattern and preferences of working women in Delhi-NCR region as well as the travel-related challenges faced by women that were magnified during the pandemic.
