65% Pakistanis say parents should even sacrifice for their children: Survey
ISLAMABAD, May 06, 2011 (PPI): Almost 65% Pakistanis feel that parents should try to do their best for their children even if it requires sacrificing their own happiness for that of their children, says the finding of a survey conducted by Gilani Poll/ Gallup Pakistan.
In the survey, a nationally representative sample of men and women from across the country were asked which of the following statements they agreed with, the first being: "Parents should do their best for their children and even sacrifice their own happiness for them." The second statement was, "Parents have a right to live their life to the fullest and should not sacrifice their happiness for that of their children." Results show that two thirds of the respondents (65%) agreed with the first statement while almost one third (31%) agreed with the second one. 4% did not agree with either statement or did not respond.
A closer look at the results reveals that female respondents were more inclined to agree with the view that parents should sacrifice their own happiness for their children with 70% of them agreeing with the first statement as compared to 61% males who shared this view.
The study was released by Gilani foundation and carried out by Gallup Pakistan, the Pakistani affiliate of Gallup International. The recent survey was carried out among a sample of 2774 men and women in rural and urban areas of all four provinces of the country, during April 2011. Error margin is estimated to be approximately + 2-3 per cent at 95% confidence level.
