This paper aims to estimate whether there is gender biasness in health care spending for children within the household of Bangladesh. The prime subject matter of the research is gender

discrimination. It is a multidimensional issue which is deeply embedded in the improvised and traditional cultural settings in Bangladesh, and it is considered as a major constraint towards the development process in the country. We, therefore, also have made an attempt to determine the root causes of pervasive gender gap persists in the society in Bangladesh. Data from the Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES)-2010 of Bangladesh has been used in order to estimate gender biasness in health care spending for children of age ten and below ten years of old (age<=10) at household level. To conduct the research, linear regression model has been chosen as model specification where the expenditure on healthcare for individual children is considered as dependent variable and the variable of interest is gender. The study reveal that the health care spending for female is significantly lower than that of male children. It is evidenced that socio-cultural norms, religious beliefs, patriarchal family setting and dominance of male counterparts of women contribute to the regular forms of discrimination against women. The study highlights some basic causes of gender disparity against women includes patriarchal family settings, ignorance of female children at birth, lacking of opportunities for education, poverty among women, less investment for women’s health care in the household and so forth. Promotion of gender, women’s empowerment, and women’s integration in the mainstream economic activities along with men are given top most priority by the government and the policy makers as well.We, therefore, have provided some policyimplications for further improvement of the gender situation in the country.
