Footnotes

1. Statistical significance testing is used to determine how certain we are that differences seen in the survey are due to real-world gender differences. Significance testing was done at the 95% level, which means that there is a less than 1 in 20 chance that if there was no actual gender difference, that we would see a difference in the analysis through random chance. In figures 3-6 statistically significant findings are shown in blue, and non-significant findings in orange.

2. As respondents were asked to self-identify their sex, we have reported this as gender, and have therefore used the terms men and women.
