The figure has all the hallmarks of being one that defenders of the status quo can shoot bits off the side- it doesn't seem to take into account pensions, for example.
But it's clearly dreadful. And the secondary finding that gender stereotypes among the under 14s are getting worse is scary too. I think we need some more of those anti-family books the Express was so good at finding in the 80s.
