Resumen
Introducción: el sector salud representa una de las actividades económicas más feminizadas, no obstante, se presentan amplias brechas de género entre los trabajadores y trabajadoras del sector. Objetivo: este trabajo busca caracterizar e identificar los obstáculos presentes en el sector de la salud en términos de equidad de género. Metodología: para ello, se realizó una revisión sistemática de literatura en donde se recopilaron 52 estudios empleando diferentes repositorios y bases de datos bibliográficas. Resultados: los resultados exhiben que, si bien las mujeres representan la mayor parte del personal sanitario en el mundo, enfrentan obstáculos para alcanzar puestos de liderazgo, igualdad en la remuneración, recibir reconocimiento y apoyo, acceder a ciertas especialidades, entre otros desafíos para participar en el sector en condiciones de igualdad. Conclusiones: la sola participación de las mujeres en el mercado laboral no es suficiente para lograr la igualdad. Es necesario contar con respaldo institucional, transformar la cultura dentro de las organizaciones y destacar la importancia de la perspectiva de género en todos los ámbitos, proponiendo medidas concretas para abordar las disparidades existentes.
