In the Bright Grey/Opinium 2011 survey on decision making, what percentage of working women were mainly responsible for the household's financial decisions?

• A. 59%
• B. 53%
• C. 44%
• D. 30%

Answer: (C)

The main idea is who holds the financial decision-making power in a household. In this 2011 Bright Grey/Opinium survey, 44% of working women were mainly responsible for the household’s financial decisions. This shows that a substantial portion of working women have primary control over money, but it’s not a majority, meaning many households either have men as the main decision-maker or share the responsibility. The other figures would suggest a higher or lower level of female financial leadership than the survey found, so 44% best reflects the observed balance between women’s influence and other arrangements in households.
