“…Instead of a rating scale in the range of 1-7, used up until 2017 (inclusive), a new scale in the range of 1-100 was implemented the following year. The economic link between human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) mortality and human capacity in the context of global competitiveness has been indicated and confirmed in the literature [60]. On the other hand, Bucher [61] revealed a high correlation between a country's rating based on GCI index and the level of gender inequalities, as well as the human development index (HDI), in which one of its constructs is the country's health indicator (life expectancy).…”

The aim of the present study is to quantify the relations between gender inequalities in mortality by selected causes of mortality and between competitiveness of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. Data for the analyses were obtained from OECD databases and the World Economic Forum (Global Competitiveness Index), for the years 2011–2016, for all 36 countries. The methods of descriptive analysis, analysis of differences in causes of mortality by gender characteristics, regression analysis, relationship analysis of gender inequalities in causes of mortality and competitiveness, and cluster analysis were used for the statistical data processing. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that gender inequality occurs in most of the examined mortality groups of diagnoses, while it was most significant in the case of mortality due to neoplasms. The impacts of mortality on competitiveness are significant. In assessing gender inequalities in causes of mortality, significant impacts were seen in most mortality causes, but the most significant impact was identified within mortality due to neoplasms. Emphasis should be placed on men when reducing inequalities. Health and health equity should be supported by national governments, and health equity should be one of the key performance indicators of the country.
