(2) Need to analyse gender inequalities in a broad range of health indicators

(3) No control of potential reverse causation effects in many cross sectional studies

(4) Insufficient characterisation of domestic and paid work roles

(5) No consideration of the potential interactions between gender, social class, family roles and employment status

(6) Frequent use as dependent and independent variables, subjective concepts which are self reported
