New research has revealed that younger men are more inclined than older generations to believe a wife should always obey her husband, a finding branded "troubling" by Julia Gillard, Australia’s only female prime minister and current chairwoman of the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership (GIWL).
The global polling of 23,000 individuals, published ahead of International Women’s Day, indicates that a third (33%) of Gen Z men and boys feel a husband should have the final say on significant household decisions. A similar proportion, 31%, of this age group – born between 1997 and 2012 – agree that a wife should always obey her husband.
