Background Achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment is a major global priority.

Women managers report better sleep quality in countries with greater gender empowerment

Credit: Photo by Victoria Heath on Unsplash A large cross-national survey of Europeans showed that managers were more likely than non-managers to report restless sleep. However, women managers reported better sleep quality in countries with greater gender empowerment, while men managers reported better sleep in countries with stronger economies. Xiao Tan of the University of Melbourne, Australia, and colleagues present these findings in the open-access journal PLOS ONE on March 17, 2021. Previous research has suggested that sleep quality is shaped by gender, work, and family demands. People also appear to sleep better in countries with higher gender equality. However, it has been unclear how links between gender and sleep extend specifically to people in managerial roles, who may have more control over their jobs but may also face more workplace demands.

Vaccination for Covid | Political Economy

March 7, 2021 With a routine immunisation coverage of 88 percent, AJK is one region that has remained polio free for the last two decades Visiting Muzaffarabad after 16 years was quite an experience. The last I saw this place was when an earthquake of 7.6 magnitude shook the entire region on October 8, 2005. After nearly 16 years the city seemed stronger. Its social indicators show that too. One of those is its literacy rate of 67 percent among its women compared to the national average of 51 percent. Dr Bushra Shams, the provincial programme manager of Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI) Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJ&K), the only woman in the country heading an immunisation programme, has health scores for children to prove her mettle.
