Table 1.

Gender and marital status of respondents

Marital status Women (%) Men (%)
Single* 33.3 27.5
Married, without children 33.1 28.5
Married, with children 33.6 44.0

*The group of single persons with children was too small to analyse and was thus not considered. χ2 analysis shows that gender differences with respect to having children are significant, P = 0.009. ‘Married' includes respondents who were either married or lived with a partner.
