Marriage Not 'Best For Relationship'
The survey was conducted by annual British Social Attitudes, showed that ewer than 40 per cent adults, aged between 18 and 34, believed marriage to be the best kind of relationship, compared with more than 80 per cent pensioners.
As compared to the adults over 65 years, more number of younger adults did not believe that mothers should get a full-time job as soon as their children start school, even fewer thought that it is the mothers who the children preferred.
The report that surveyed 4000 people followed the report by Government statisticians that revealed that the married couples are soon to be a minority by the next year as mostly the youngsters preferred living out of the wedlock.
The
changing
social
trends
highlighted
by
the
National
Centre
for
Social
Research
also
included
that
most
people
believed
that
homosexual
couples
were
as
good
as
parents
as
the
regular
man
and
woman.
"Since
the
middle
of
the
last
century,
attitudes
in
Britain
towards
parents
and
parenthood
have
changed
a
great
deal," the
Telegraph
quoted
Geoff
Dench,
a
Visiting
Fellow
at
Greenwich
University
and
one
of
the
authors
of
the
British
Social
Attitudes
study,
as
saying.
"Parents
used
to
be
regarded
as
central
to
society.
Becoming
a
good
citizen
was
seen
as
assisted
by
parenthood
and
by
the
experience
of
taking
responsibility
for
others
that
this
entailed.
But
it
is
different
now,"
he
added.
Dench also said that there was a time when division of labor based on gender existed in Britain, the men earned the bread while the women were required to take care of household and child upbringing. This bought about a domestic stability in marriage life.
"Parenthood gave people a valued place in society which may not exist today," he said.
He also went on to state that such an attitude developed in the youth today as a result of the 'Labour's social reforms' since the 1960s. The reform promoted individual freedom and and liberated people from traditional family norms.
This finally resulted in abolishing the welfare payments that rewarded traditional families, the generation of the 1980's were exposed to "relatively few wholly traditional families in Britain," and developed a sense that the traditional family pattern was a thing of the past. AGENCIES
