Intersectionality in quantitative research: A systematic review of its emergence and applications of theory and methods

Greta R. Bauer et al.

Summary: A characterization of quantitative research applications of intersectionality from 1989 to mid-2020 revealed challenges in applying intersectionality theoretical frameworks in quantitative research, with about one in four articles failing to define intersectionality and about one in six including intersectional position components not reflective of social power. Quantitative methods were found to be simplistic and often misapplied or misinterpreted, highlighting the need for further work in understanding key features of quantitative intersectionality analyses and improving reporting practices.

An intersectional analysis providing more precise information on inequities in self-rated health

Maria Wemrell et al.

Summary: The combination of intersectionality theory and analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy can enhance our understanding of health disparities and guide resource allocation in public health. The study shows that intersectional analysis provides precise information on health inequalities, but with low discriminatory accuracy, suggesting the need for universal interventions rather than targeted interventions based on higher average risk of poor self-rated health.

Understanding unequal ageing: towards a synthesis of intersectionality and life course analyses

Daniel Holman et al.

Summary: This paper explores the potential combination of intersectionality and the life course perspective to provide new insights into unequal ageing. Intersectionality research mainly focuses on intersectional subgroups, discrimination, categorization, and individual heterogeneity, while the life course perspective discusses concepts such as roles, life stages, transitions, age/cohort, cumulative disadvantage/advantage, and trajectories. The synergies between intersectionality and the life course offer exciting opportunities to bring novel insights to unequal ageing and its associated health disparities.
