Answer

Charlotte Atkins: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment when the findings of the research into Women's Social Attitudes between 1983 to 1998 will be published. [140400] Ms Jowell: I have published today the Women's Unit document, "Women's Social Attitudes 1983-1998". Copies have been placed in the Library and the report is also available on the Women's Unit web-site. The Women's Unit is publishing the above report on secondary data analysis of the British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey series (1983-1998) and the Young People's Attitudes survey (1994 and 1998). The report provides invaluable, comprehensive information about women's attitudes, tracking continuity and change overtime wherever the data allows this. It shows the impact of age, occupation, education and income level, and motherhood on women's attitudes across a range of issues. The topics reported upon in the publication are women's attitudes to: Government and Politics; Welfare and Social Security; Money; Paid work; The Family; Health and Genetics; Education and Science; Environment and Transport; the final chapter explores young women's attitudes.
