More than four in 10 (44%) of parents think children should only get pocket money if they do chores and more than half of children (55%) feel they should be given money, regardless of whether they do anything to earn it.
When it comes to earning their allowance through chores, only a third of children (33%) would be willing to clean the toilet. One in four kids (26%) would sacrifice time in front of their phones and games consoles for cash, if it meant avoiding household labour.
More than four in 10 parents (43%) said they would hold back paying pocket money for a bad job. This is possibly due to their own childhood experience, as 40% of mums and dads earned their own pennies by doing chores. This may come as a surprise to today's kids, with 20% more of them earning their cash this way, than their parents.
