Most Australians see marriage as one of their lifetime
goals and three quarters view marriage as a commitment for
life, according to a new ACNielsen poll.
The organisation surveyed some 25,000 consumers in 46 countries
in an online poll, including 500 in Australia.
They found 66 per cent of people in Australia, who were unmarried,
saw marriage as a lifetime goal while 84 per cent of the same
group said they intended having children.
Seventy-five per cent of people saw it as a lifetime commitment
compared with as many as 97 per cent of those polled in Indonesia
and 52 per cent in Italy.
In other findings, 71 per cent of the Australians polled disagreed
with the proposition that mothers with children shouldn’t
work.
Thirty-five per cent disagreed with the statement that children
with married parents grew up happier and more stable that
children whose parents separate - nine per cent more than
the global average.
