More British than Spanish believe that - 'A Womans Place is in the Home'

In Great Britain 22% of the population agree with the statement whilst in Spain only 12%.

Looking on the positive side it idicates that 88% of the Spanish did not agree with the statement whilst it is only 78% in Great Britain, both of which are above the 74% average for the World.

The countries with higher percentages of citizens who are in disagreement with the statement are Argentina, France and Mexico, each reaching 91% with Sweden and Brazil attaining 90% each. The Germans with 86%, the Belgians 84%, the Polish 82% and the Italians coming in at 81%, are close to the Spanish, but all way ahead of the British.

At the other end of the scale are countries like Hungary (34%), Russia (34%), China (34%), Japan (48%), India (54%) and Turkey (54%) are those which people are more in agreement that a woman's place is in the home.

John Wright, senior vice president of Ipsos said

"This poll has a fundamental expression embraced by a full majority that women, individually or otherwise, should have the ability to choose to do what and where they believe they can make their greatest contribution"

The survey was carried out in 23 Countries and included 24,000 adults over the age of 18.
