<Abstract>
In recent years, there has been a growing interest among researchers in clarifying the relationship between social exclusion and health inequalities. This is because most early quantitative studies took in the aspect of health as one of the indicators of social exclusion along with other aspects such as economic status, unemployment, lack of political involvement, and social isolation, and so on. A growing number of studies are concerned with social exclusion and health inequalities; however, it has rarely been discussed whether there are gender differences or gender gaps in the relationship between the two, social exclusion and health inequalities. For this analysis, we will use the nationally representative panel data from the Japanese Life Course Panel Survey 2007-2021 (waves 1-15). The analysis showed that the situation of social exclusion affecting health inequalities (subjective health, mental health, and health problems limiting work and home activities) was different for genders. Furthermore, when analyzed separately for men and women, the items of social and economic aspects that affect health inequalities were different for men and women.
