Why a third of women want to give up work to look after their children

The Daily Mail report:

More than a third of working mothers want to quit their jobs to look after their children, research suggests.

A further six in ten would like to reduce their hours to spend more time with their young ones, the Government-backed study found.

Less than a fifth said they would choose to increase their hours if there was good affordable childcare available.

The findings fly in the face of Government claims that women would want to go back to work if they could find decent childcare.

Jill Kirby, director of the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, said: ‘Once again a survey is telling us that the Government’s got it wrong.

Imagine that.
