This article examines the institutional gender inequality in Economics. The incorporation of gender equality in health policy can strengthen responses to health problems and reveal disparities created by gender in health. It addresses the silence toward gender inequality within Economics by discussing Economics’ co-evolution with healthcare and women’s status especially in Europe where major health systems and women’s movements commenced. Questions of interdependence, asymmetrically reflective responsibility, and overall gender inequality are neglected by economic theories but are key to re-introducing gender inequality in Economics. It highlights the importance of promoting the incorporation of gender equality norms and standards into Economics responses both vertically and horizontally and for accountability. Linking directly Economics with gender equality at the global level is essential to create fully-competent health systems competent to face and adjust to new standards, demands, and needs created by globalisation, including different types of immigration and gender.
