“Even if concessions are made in trade negotiations there’s a long way to go, because the business environment continues to keep Hollywood from operating on an equal plane,” said Aynne Kokas, a UVA assistant professor of media studies and author of “Hollywood Made in China.”

Ahmed’s shop is one of very few women-only hair salons nationwide, according to Elisabeth Becker, a UVA postdoctoral fellow who researches urban Muslim communities. Becker said the demand among Muslim Americans for women-only spa services far exceeds the supply.

“Marriage remains the gold standard for families when it comes to stability and commitment,” said Bradford Wilcox, professor of sociology at the University of Virginia and senior fellow of the Institute for Family Studies, which commissioned the survey.
The findings were based on a survey of nearly 16,500 parents in 11 countries, including 2,344 from the UK. Scientists at the University of Virginia worked on the project for the U.S.-based Institute for Family Studies.
