Taylor-Gooby (2005) reported a specific percentage regarding stay-at-home attitudes. What was the figure for women staying at home with children under school age?

• A. 60%
• B. 50%
• C. 48%
• D. 40%

Answer: (C)

Attitudes toward stay-at-home motherhood. Taylor-Gooby’s data show that 48% of women with children under school age stayed at home. This mid-range figure highlights a tension in early-2000s norms: many supported women's employment, yet a substantial minority still adhered to the traditional idea that mothers with young children should stay at home. The other options don’t match the study’s reported figure, whereas 48% accurately reflects what was found.
