The Daily Mail has said the report also found that women keep this desire quiet because they feel 'under pressure' from other women to live an independent lifestyle.
The poll, which was carried out by fashion website mycelebrityfashion.co.uk, looked at 1,582 women aged 25 and over, and all of whom were in a relationship and full-time employment.
Of those polled, 62% admitted they secretly wished to be a housewife rather than have a career. Respondents were also asked if they viewed themselves as an 'independent woman', with 65% saying yes. Of those who agreed with the statement, they were then asked if they felt pressurised by other women to be independent, with a significant 74% admitting they did.
More than half of women (57%) confessed they would like a more relaxing way of life.
When asked about being financially independent, 78% claimed they wouldn't mind if they had to rely on their partner for money.
Bobbie Malpass, editor of mycelebrityfashion.co.uk, said the results were a shock.
She said: "I am so shocked to hear the majority of women would rather be housewives than go after a career. You hear so often about how we should embrace being strong independent women; I mean Destiny's Child sang about it enough!
"I think the most shocking statistic is how many women wouldn't be bothered if they were financially dependent on their partner, as being a 'kept woman' isn't something that would appeal to everyone."
