Bringing Equality Home: A New Gender Agenda

与其他国家相比，澳大利亚在实现性别平等方面已经落后，而且有进一步落后的危险。这危及所有澳大利亚人的机会，破坏社会凝聚力和经济进步。本项目旨在为扭转这一趋势提供理论和经验基础。预期的成果将是一种新的性别不平等理论，一种突出了家务劳动和家务劳动的解释重要性的新方法，以及对性别不平等最具可塑性的生命历程阶段的新见解。这将带来巨大的好处，包括推动新的研究、政策举措和能力，以建设一个更平等、更强大和更繁荣的澳大利亚。

Compared to other countries, Australia has slipped backwards in achieving gender equality and is in danger of falling further behind. This jeopardises opportunities for all Australians and undermines social cohesion and economic progress. This project aims to provide the theoretical and empirical foundations to reverse this trend. The expected outcomes will be a new theory of gender inequality, a new approach that foregrounds the explanatory importance of caregiving and domestic work and new insights into the life course stages where gender inequality is most malleable. This will provide significant benefits including the impetus for new research, policy initiatives and capacity to build a more equal, stronger and prosperous Australia.
