Although there has been a considerable amount of research into understanding domestic arrangements within heterosexual households, this is not the case for same-sex households. In particular, little or no research has been carried out on money management in same-sex households. The study intended to address this gap and to develop a more complete understanding of domestic economies in today s society. <br> <br> The main aims of <i>Money Management in Lesbian and Gay Couples, 2004-2006</i> were to investigate:<ul><li>how same-sex couples manage their finances</li><li>potential links between money management practices and relationship beliefs</li><li>how money management in same-sex couples compares with heterosexual couples</li><li>views on civil partnership legislation</li></ul>The study comprised qualitative in-depth interviews and a quantitative survey which looked at financial practices, relationships and civil partnership beliefs in lesbians and gay men. The qualitative interviews are not available for secondary analysis due to confidentially reasons. Further details of the analysis of these are available in the user guide.</h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5>The main topics covered in the questionnaire are: <ul><li>legal recognition of same-sex relationships</li><li>money management beliefs and practices</li><li>basic demographic details</li></ul></h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> 2004 - 2006 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> United Kingdom <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> No spatial unit. <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Individuals <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Numeric data; Individual (micro) level </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> National <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> People 16 or older who described themselves as non-heterosexual living the UK, 2004-2006. </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Cross-sectional (one-time) study <br><i class='myclass'>Sampling Procedures: </i> Volunteer sample<br> Participants were recruited via press advertisements and gay and lesbian organisations and events. <br><i class='myclass'>Number of Units:</i> 386 cases who had a current partner; 132 cases who were single. <br><i class='myclass'>Method of Data Collection: </i> Self-completion <br><i class='myclass'>Weighting: </i> No weighting used. </h5><h3>Language(s) of Written Materials: </h3> <h5>Study Description: English<br>Study Documentation: English<br></h5> <h3>Access: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Access Conditions: </i> The depositor has specified that registration is required and standard conditions of use apply.
