This study compares the gendered inequalities of longitudinal change of health (self-rated health, SRH) and the effects of socioeconomic status among the middle-aged men and women. Countries with greater (Denmark, dual-earner support), medium (Germany, general family support), and lower (South Korea, residual support) levels of support system for women were selected. The Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (2007-2015) and the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (2006-2014) were used (total 1,403 Danes, 1,245 Germans, and 4,301 Koreans). Multiple group latent growth curve models were employed. Unconditional models showed that Korean men had better health trajectories than their female counterparts. No gender difference was found among Danes and women was slightly better among Germans. Conditional models yielded that, unlike Denmark and Germany, Korean women were more disadvantaged in terms of lower education than Korean men. Unlike Denmark, Korean women with working status gained less benefit than Korean men. In addition, similar to Denmark and Germany, Korean women with more household income did not experience much increase in SRH than Korean men. Unlike Denmark and Germany, Korean men with routine jobs were more disadvantaged than Korean women.
