    1) Gender inequality results in poorer health outcomes for children and greater poverty for families, according to a new UNICEF study. 2) UNICEF examined family decision-making in 30 countries around the world and found that equality between men and women is key to reducing poverty and improving health, especially for children, in developing nations. 3) Where men control household resources, less money is spent on healthcare and nutrition, leading to poorer health for children. Increased employment and income opportunities for women could boost their decision-making power within the family.
