Gender Equality in Australia: An Exploration of the Impact on Sleep

Grant number: 1191061 | Funding period: 2020 - 2023

Completed

Abstract

Gender equality has a positive effect on the health of both males and females. Over recent years, sleep has gained attention as an important component of health. To date, there has been little research examining how gender equality in Australia affects the health of Australians and no research to date has explored how gender equality affects Australian’s sleep. Therefore, the proposed PhD project will explore the relationship between gender equality, sleep, and health outcomes.
