One third of women prefer to have a paid job, another third said that they prefer to stay home (only a fourth of the men want them to), while the remaining third wanted both.
Around 85 percent of those surveyed are not against the idea of women having a paid job outside their homes “if they desired.” The gender breakdown of people agreeing with this statement is 93 percent of women and 78 percent of men.
‘Towards a better future for women and work: Voices of women and men’, published this month by ILO, was conducted in 2016 by Gallup who conducted a 1,000 face-to-face poll with adults.
