盡管男女平等，女性可以執(zhí)政、從商，但一項(xiàng)全球調(diào)查顯示，大多數(shù)年輕人認(rèn)為 (占總?cè)丝诘乃姆种?:女人應(yīng)該待在家里，做一個(gè)稱職的賢妻良母。
Women head governments， run companies and comprise about half the worlds workforce， but a global poll shows that one in four people， most of them young， believes a womans place is in the home.
The survey of over 24，000 adults in 23 countries， conducted by Reuters / Ipsos and released on the eve of International Womens Day， showed that people from India (54 percent)， Turkey (52 percent)， Japan (48 percent)， China， Russia， Hungary (34 percent each) and South Korea (33 percent) were most likely to agree that women should not work.
And， perhaps surprisingly， people aged between 18 and 34 years are most likely to hold that view， not those from the older， and more traditional generation.
However， the majority， or 74 percent， of those polled believe a womans place is certainly not at home.
“Over the past century， women， collectively， have made great gains not only in terms of societal participation - from politics to the workplace to sports and the media and to intellectual pursuit - but there are still barriers to many，” said John Wright， senior vice president of market research company Ipsos. “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，” he said. In countries where most people believed women should stay at home， or where the majority held the opposite view， there was little difference between the sexes， the survey showed. For example， in India， the country where more than half of those polled said women should stay home， an almost equal number of men and women held this view. The following results table from the survey conducted between November and January begins with the countries where citizens are most likely to agree that “a womens place is in the home.” All figures are percentages.
“A womans place is in the home.”

盡管女性執(zhí)政、從商，且構(gòu)成全世界約一半的勞動(dòng)力，但一項(xiàng)全球調(diào)查顯示，四分之一的人認(rèn)為女人應(yīng)該待在家里，而且持此觀點(diǎn)的大多是年輕人。
這項(xiàng)由路透社和益普索集團(tuán)聯(lián)合開展的調(diào)查涉及了23個(gè)國(guó)家的24000多名成年人，其調(diào)查結(jié)果在國(guó)際婦女節(jié)前夕發(fā)布了。調(diào)查顯示來自印度 (54%) 、土耳其 (52%) 、日本 (48%) 、中國(guó) (34%) 、俄羅斯 (34%) 、匈牙利 (34%) 和韓國(guó) (33%)的受訪者都傾向于贊同女性不應(yīng)該工作的觀點(diǎn)。
令人吃驚的是，持這一觀點(diǎn)的大多是年齡在18歲到34歲之間的年輕人，而非年齡較大的、思想觀念較為傳統(tǒng)的老年人。
然而，大多數(shù)的受訪者 (74%) 認(rèn)為女性的位置肯定不是在家里。
益普索市場(chǎng)調(diào)查公司的高級(jí)副總裁約翰#8226;懷特說:“總的說來在過去一個(gè)世紀(jì)中，女性積極參與社會(huì)活動(dòng)，如:政治、職場(chǎng)、體育、媒體和學(xué)術(shù)等方面并取得了很大進(jìn)步，但對(duì)于很多女性來說，障礙依然存在?！豹?/p>
“大多數(shù)人都支持該民調(diào)的一個(gè)基本觀點(diǎn)，那就是:無論是就個(gè)體還是整體而言，女性都應(yīng)該有能力選擇她們所認(rèn)為自己可以做出最大貢獻(xiàn)的工作和領(lǐng)域?！豹?/p>
調(diào)查顯示，無論贊成或反對(duì)女性應(yīng)該待在家里，有關(guān)這一問題的性別差異并不明顯。例如，在印度，受訪者中有超過一半的人認(rèn)為女性應(yīng)該待在家里，持這一觀點(diǎn)的男性和女性數(shù)量基本相同。
該調(diào)查于去年十一月份至今年一月份之間開展。調(diào)查結(jié)果請(qǐng)參照以下表格。排在前面的是傾向于認(rèn)為“女性應(yīng)該待在家里”的國(guó)家。所有數(shù)據(jù)均為百分比。
“女人應(yīng)該待在家里。”
