From homework to housework, how British attitudes have changed since the 1930s
Briefly

A study from King's College London reveals drastic shifts in societal views towards everyday life in Britain over the past 80 years. While tasks like homework and chores remain constant, opinions have evolved: 70% believe homework should be done in personal time, a stark contrast to 20% in the 1930s. Support for coeducational settings has risen to 76% from 43% post-war. Men participating in household chores increased from 24% to only 4% saying they do nothing. Meanwhile, women's satisfaction with their identity has increased, with fewer wishing to be men, alongside evolving attitudes towards fitness and job preferences.
Eighty years ago, a quarter of men said they never helped with household chores, but now only 4% admit to this. Yet, women still do more housework.
In 1947, nearly four in ten women preferred to be men, but today this has dropped significantly to one in eleven, showing changing attitudes towards gender.
