民調：美國女性最擔心家庭財政狀況

Financial worries are a growing concern for women and may pose a bigger threat to families than divorce, loss of faith, co-habitation and dual working parents, according to a new survey.

In the online poll conducted by New-York based Applied Research & Consulting women were asked questions about marriage, family, health, fitness, safety and financial matters.

"Women and their families are experiencing tremendous financial woes -- on issues ranging from housing to credit-card debt to healthcare -- and are very concerned about their long-term financial security," Meredith Corporation and NBC Universal, which commissioned the poll, said in a statement.

Nearly 70 percent of the 3,000 women who took part in the survey cited financial strain as their top concern, followed by divorce at 48 percent and loss of spirituality at 47 percent.

Thirty-two percent said liberal views on sex and sexuality posed a threat to the family, while 28 percent were concerned about both parents working and 21 percent named unwed mothers as a concern.

In addition, 57 percent of women worried about whether they could pay their monthly rent or mortgage, and 85 percent reported being in debt, the survey showed.

Of those polled, 46 percent said they were extremely concerned about rising healthcare costs, with 38 percent saying they had incurred debt from medical bills, according to the report.

It also showed that 18 percent of women, and 24 percent of single mothers with children under 18 years old, do not have health insurance coverage.

一項最新調查顯示，女性對於家庭財政狀況的擔憂與日俱增，財政問題可能比離婚、信仰缺失、同居以及雙職父母等問題對於家庭的威脅都要大。

該項在線民意調查由紐約應用研究與諮詢集團開展，主要針對婚姻、家庭、健康、安全及財政等問題對女性進行訪問。

委託開展該調查的梅雷迪斯集團和NBC聯合集團在一份聲明中說：“從調查結果來看，受訪女性的家庭財政狀況很糟糕，其中涉及房貸、信用卡還貸、醫療保健成本等一系列問題，她們都很擔心家庭的長期財政安全。”

在三千名受訪女性中，近70%的人稱她們最擔心家庭財政狀況，48%的人擔心離婚，47%的人擔心失去信仰。

32%的人稱性觀念的開放對家庭是一大威脅，28%的人認爲父母雙方都工作對家庭不利，21%的人則認爲未婚媽媽問題令人擔憂。

此外，調查顯示，57%的受訪女性擔心自己無力支付月房租或月供，85%的人稱自己有負債。

46%的女性稱她們極爲擔心不斷上升的醫療保健成本，38%的人稱自己因無力承擔醫藥費用而欠了債。

調查顯示，18%的女性以及24%的單身未成年媽媽沒有醫療保險。
