The Care Gap Project is a Living Literature Review at the intersection of gender and health in low- and middle-income countries. We seek to make sense of the academic knowledge on the topic, and present key insights to readers in an accessible manner. The literature we cover primarily pertains to economics and public policy, but also forays into behavioral sciences, biology, health and medicine, among others. 

From a gender perspective, constraints exist on both the demand and supply of healthcare in less developed settings. On the demand side, the themes encompass individual behaviors, intra-household decision-making, and societal norms, while in terms of the supply of healthcare, the focus is on broader issues related to health systems, financing, and public health priorities.
