TABLE 4. FAMILY INCOME STATUS

Family occupations were not greatly different from those of the female group: 20% of the men's fathers were professional or semi-professional, compared to 23% of the women's fathers. On the other hand, 19% of the men's mothers were in this category, compared to 16% of the women's mothers. For both the men and the women, skilled and unskilled trades accounted for something over a quarter of the fathers' occupations. In both cases the re were proportionately many more professional father s, and fewer engaged in a trade, than is found in the general population. Thus the income of the men's families, as of the women's, was probably above average.

Religious background does not differ greatly from the female group, nor from the national figure. The male group, like the female, departed from the parental religion to a considerable extent: almost of each group reported no religion or agnosticism in place of the religion of their parents. About 67% of the men had received at least some religious training in the home, compared to 60% of the women.
