Major investigated questions: at the beginning of the survey, respondents were provided with a block of questions aimed at exploring their attitudes toward the role of women in the family and the labour market (A working mother can establish just as warm and secure a relationship with her children as a mother who does not work; 6 in total). Respondents were asked how much responsibility women and men should take for the home and family, and who is better suited to look after their children, the mother or the father. It was clarified whether women should work full-time, part-time, or not at all when they have preschool-aged children and when their youngest child starts school. After presenting this block of questions, attitudes toward marriage and having children were examined (Having children interferes too much with the freedom of parents; total 4). The next block sought to find out opinions on different forms of parenthood and family diversity (A single mother can bring up her child as well as a married couple; total 4). Lithuanian residents who participated in the survey were invited to indicate what the ideal number of children in a family should be. When asked to think about a family in which a father and mother are raising a 5-year-old child, the survey examined which parent should be responsible for parenting activities (Provide for the family financially; Take care of the child on a daily basis; total 6). It was clarified whether a couple working full-time should be able to take paid parental leave after the birth of a child, and if so, how many months it should last. When asked to think about the same couple, respondents were told to consider how the mother and father should share this leave if both are in a similar work situation and both are eligible for parental leave. Next, respondents were invited to imagine a family with preschool-aged children and indicate how they would best balance family life and work and which option was the least acceptable. They were prompted to consider who should primarily look after preschool-aged children and who should primarily cover the costs of preschool-aged childcare. Similarly, they had questions about older people who need help in their daily lives: who should primarily provide such assistance and who should primarily cover the costs of assistance to elderly people. Respondents were then asked to indicate the average number of hours per week that they or their spouse or partner spend on housework, excluding childcare and leisure, and how many hours per week on average they spend caring for family members (i.e., children, grandparents, sick or disabled family members). The survey also sought to find out how respondents and their spouses or partners manage their income. A block of questions was used to find out who performs the listed household tasks (Does the laundry; Plans and organizes social and family activities; 6 in total). Respondents had the opportunity to indicate how they and their spouses or partners share household chores. Another block of questions explored the possible conflict between work and family roles (I have come home from work too tired to do the chores which need to be done; 4 in total). Next, the respondents' attitudes toward what they consider to be close relatives and their perception of their responsibilities toward their loved ones were examined. It was investigated whether respondents believe that close relatives or close friends are more reliable. Accordingly, it was surveyed whether the most important people in life should be close relatives or close friends. Respondents were prompted to assess how happy or unhappy they feel. The last block of questions examined the opinion of whether certain leadership positions are more suitable for women or men (Cabinet minister in the national government; 3 in total). Next, Lithuanian residents who participated in the survey were asked to answer how difficult or easy it is for their households to make ends meet at present and, compared to 12 months ago, how their household's financial situation has changed. The final question of the survey addressed the number of children respondents have or had. Socio-demographic characteristics: gender, age, level of education, membership in organizations, religion, marital status, nationality, political views, political participation, size of household, respondent's average personal income, place of residence, working situation of the respondent and of his/her spouse or partner. The main language of the study is Lithuanian (lit). Standardized questionnaire was provided for the respondents in Lithuanian (lit).
