Public policy plays a central role in creating and distributing resources and conditions of daily life that matter for health equity. Policy agendas for health have tended to focus on health care delivery and individualised interventions. Asking why there is a lack of policy action on the structural drivers of health inequities raises questions about power inequities in policy systems that maintain the status quo.
In this webinar Sharon Friel will discuss key findings from a health equity power analysis of multisectoral policies including trade, paid parental leave, Northern Territory Emergency Response and urban planning.
