The source adds further comments: "Quotas were set to ensure an even minimum sample of 500 parents of children aged between 5-9, 10-14 and 15-18. Data were weighted by age, gender and region to be representative by all parents in Great Britain." The question was: "Does your child save money for the things they want (e.g. a bike or a toy)?"
