The underrepresentation of women in leadership positions within the Spanish healthcare system is due to various factors, including societal biases that associate leadership with men, obstacles faced in balancing work and family life, and a lack of visible female role models. These issues create a cycle where women may be less likely to seek out leadership roles, perpetuating the imbalance.

How do societal expectations and cultural norms contribute to the disparities in women's mental and physical health compared to men?

The study highlights two paradoxes: women reporting higher life satisfaction despite worse mental health, and a decline in women's well-being despite societal progress. The first paradox varies across countries; the second is consistent globally, suggesting that economic equality alone doesn't ensure improved well-being for women. The 'double burden' of work and domestic responsibilities is cited as a factor.
