New mums being forced back to work
May 22, 2008
A recent study has shown that more and more new mothers are being forced back to work to be able to pay the bills.
It seems that these days, being able to have time off to look after your newly born child is becoming more of a luxury.
With household bills rising as much as £150 a month it is hitting families hard.
The study showed some shocking results, which included that 38% of mothers with children under 2 years old are having to return to work due to financial reasons.
Ann Robinson, Director of the company who commissioned the report has said the following:
“Economic factors are taking away the choice for many young families today. People who want to stay at home can’t afford to due to rising household bills, and even people who want to return to work can’t afford to either, due to the high cost of childcare. Any initiatives introduced by the Government that support parents wishing to return to work when they have children should be commended - but we also need to recognise that some parents would prefer to stay at home to look after their children, even if only during the early years.
Obviously with most parents, having a child will mean a massive amount of the money usually spent on bills will be used for the baby and this is a risk that every family have to take!!
