The sampling proportions were high (85.1% in 1992, 43.2% in 2006, and 77.9% in 2014), thereby reflecting parameters (population values) rather than statistics (sample values). Boys and girls are viewing gender roles as being more equal with time, while, concurrently, girls tend to have more gender-equal attitudes than boys. The present paper provides an unparalleled examination of changes in attitudes towards gender equality. After a backlash in adolescents’ attitudes, revealed in the 2006 study, there are positive signs of more gender-equal attitudes in the 2014 results.12321233294-305eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAdolescentsGender attitudesHousehold laborIcelandGender rolesEquality (gender)Sociology and Political ScienceSDG 5 - Gender EqualitySDG 11 - Sustainable Cities and CommunitiesSDG 2 - Zero HungerSDG 3 - Good Health and Well-beingSDG 4 - Quality EducationSDG 6 - Clean Water and SanitationSDG 1 - No PovertySDG 10 - Reduced InequalitiesSDG 12 - Responsible Consumption and ProductionSDG 13 - Climate ActionSDG 14 - Life Below WaterSDG 15 - Life on LandSDG 16 - Peace, Justice and Strong InstitutionsSDG 17 - Partnerships for the GoalsSDG 7 - Affordable and Clean EnergySDG 8 - Decent Work and Economic GrowthSDG 9 - Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure/dk/atira/pure/researchoutput/researchoutputtypes/contributiontojournal/article10.3390/adolescents1030022
