[Futuregen] very rough idea re indicators study, WP3

[Ricardo Rodrigues]

Dear Susan,

Thank you very much for this and for the Peersman paper you attached.
I think your general idea really addresses the issue of indicators or 
definitions of health, care and even SES from a gender perspective. In 
other words very much in line with what we aimed to do in FutureGEN. 
Plus, I like the ideas you propose too.
I added some comments, which I realize that at this early stage are 
likely to be contradictory here and there. :)

Two main questions from me at this stage:
i) Managing the complexity of assessing misclassification of SES AND 
health at the same time, in an international study/context. I like both 
ideas, but wonder if it will be feasible. I added some comments.
ii) Methods: I think what you want to capture may be too complex to be 
fully described by quantitative methods alone. Even before reading 
Peersman, I was thinking that this would be very suitable for a 
qualitative study, or at least a mixed-methods approach (perhaps a 
slightly even more sophisticated one that Peersman).

Hope the comments help!
Best wishes,
Ricardo
