Women across generations
Are you female and aged over 16?
Would you be interested in talking about your experiences and views on women’s aspirations with other female members of your family?
We would like to talk to you, your mum and your gran about your aspirations, experiences of work and family life and how opportunities have changed across different generations in your own family.
This is part of a new project IPPR is undertaking on how the lives of women have changed between generations. The project aims to explore whether this is the best of times or the worst of times to be a women. It will compare the opportunities and aspirations of younger women compared to their mothers and grandmothers. It will cover a number of important questions, such as how motherhood impacts a woman’s aspirations, how our celebrity obsessed culture and media representations of women affect how women feel about themselves and a range of other issues affecting women today.
Interviews will take place during March and April. We are looking to interview all three generations together and also to interview some women individually. Each interviewee will be given a £20 high-street gift voucher for taking part.
If you would like to take part in this research please contact Laura Bradley on 020 7470 6173 or l.bradley@ippr.org
