    Traditional gender roles that placed the husband as the sole breadwinner are changing in the 21st century. Research from the US Census Bureau and studies in Britain found that many wives now earn as much or more than their husbands. However, most people still believe that husbands should earn more than wives. Additional research from the Pew Research Center found that up to 75% of people think good husbands must support their families financially. So while women's roles in the workplace have advanced toward equality, stereotypical views of men as breadwinners persist.
