    1) Gender bias that results in unequal decision making between men and women in families has negative health and financial consequences for children and families, according to a new UNICEF study. 2) The study examined family decision making in 30 countries worldwide and found that greater equality between men and women is key to reducing poverty and improving health, especially for children, in developing nations. 3) Where men control household resources, less money is spent on healthcare and food, leading to poorer health for children, and there would be 13 million fewer malnourished children in South Asia if women had an equal say in family decisions.
