Please join the Office of Global Health as we host Dr. Emmmanuela Gakidou, co-founder of IHME and collaborator on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. The GBD study provides a comprehensive picture of mortality and disability across countries, time, age, and sex. In this presentation, we will explore the key findings with a lens on gender equality and on education. The presentation will highlight some of the most pronounced gender disparities and the contribution of low educational attainment to the burden of disease.
