Childcare: what young women want
An hour’s childcare is, for many, more than an hour’s wages. The system is unaffordable, confusing and inflexible, leaving many mums struggling financially and unable to work.
Our research highlights the real experiences of young women. They are at the centre of our research: telling their stories and acting as peer researchers.

Between October 2016 and February 2017 we conducted research with mothers aged under 25 to find out what was important to them, and what they thought about work, children and employment support.
