We Knew It Was True: Women Do Call the Shots at Home, According to the Results of a New Study

Researchers found that in 43% of the couples, men don’t have the final say in any of the four areas tested: (1) shared weekend activities such as shopping, going to the park, etc; (2) household finances; (3) big home purchases; and (4) television viewing. These men either share decision making with their partners or defer to them. There are significantly fewer couples (33%) in which the woman does not take the lead in any of the four areas. Also, more women (15%) than men (9%) are the lead decision makers in three or more areas. Older couples (those 65 and older) are twice as likely as younger couples (those younger than 30) to make decisions together in at least three of the four areas tested.
