New research from Ipsos in the UK, conducted in partnership with JOE media, details perceptions and behaviours around pornography, as well as wider views around historical conversational taboo topics such as religion and political views.
The Fawcett Society commissioned Ipsos to conduct specific polling for their new campaign 'What About Women'. Ipsos interviewed 1,005 adults (425 men, 580 women) between 26-28 February.
Ipsos's survey for the Fawcett Society and UNISON shows that two in five people (40%) agree that in Britain, men and women on the whole receive equal pay for doing jobs of equal value, while just over half (52%) disagree. Men are more likely than women to believe that men and women receive equal pay (48% of men agree, compared to 32% of women).
In January 2009, the GEO commissioned Ipsos to conduct a robust programme of research in order to shed light on the impact of the economic downturn on women. The objectives of the research were to examine how the downturn has influenced women's fears, their finances, working and caring arrangements, family life, future plans and wellbeing, and to compare this with men.
A newly released Ipsos survey finds that more Britons want to be able to die at a time of their choosing than not: 47% agree that "I would like to be able to bring about my own death peacefully when I feel it's time".
In total, 19% of all respondents disagree that, in general, all women should have the right of access to an abortion, 57% agree and 24% are neutral, do not know or prefer not to answer.
Ipsos's recent poll for The Fawcett Society and UNISON shows that almost six in ten (58%) people believe that men are paid more than women for doing jobs that require a similar level of skill - and this figure rises to almost two-thirds (64%) among women.
A new survey commissioned by the National Trust reveals that over half of us (57%) can't name any of our great-grandparents. The survey also showed that a further 14% of the population can only name one great-grandparent. Findings were similar across all age groups, suggesting that young and old are equally unsure about their ancestry.
Ipsos has been examining attitudes to abortion on behalf of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (bpas) via three surveys since 1997. These findings have also been trended with a 1980 MORI question on abortion from a survey for the Sunday Times.
