Men's sheds in Australia: Learning through community contexts

By Barry Golding, Mike Brown, Annette Foley, Jack Harvey, Lynne Gleeson

Community-run men's sheds have recently developed and proliferated, mainly across parts of southern Australia and with higher proportions of older men not in work. This study examines their role as a place for older men to learn informally. It concludes that such sheds have important wellbeing and health benefits, primarily for older and retired men.
