dc.description.abstractThe study findings point to global pressures in terms of maximizing health investments, and questions how social, political, and economic determinants of health are addressed through broader development agendas. The article characterizes how health (in)equity is represented as a policy issue. Implications for the framing, incentivization, and implementation of health policies follow representations (and misrepresentations). Health inequity is regarded as actionable (can be altered) but not fully resolvable (can never be fully achieved). Operationally, health equity is viewed as a technocratic matter, reflected in the widespread use of metrics to motivate and measure progress.en
