This project aims to explore how Australian children spend their time over an extended and important period of their lives (from birth to 16/17 years old) and how such time allocation contributes to their development outcomes. The project will examine a wide range of child development outcomes, including cognitive skills, mental health and physical health, and whether disadvantage has played a role in time-use allocations that might have led to more positive outcomes in these developmental domains.
