Working Families Index 2025

The Working Families Index is the most comprehensive study of the experience of work and family life in the UK. 

The large-scale social survey, the Working Families Index, returns to provide a snapshot of work and family life in modern Britain. The report, based on the responses of over 3,000 parents, reveals the everyday struggles to get the flexible working, parental leave and affordable, quality childcare they need, as well as the transformative effects and opportunities flexible and family-friendly working can bring. 

You can download the full report at the bottom of this page, or take a look at the summary page of key findings or our employer briefing paper that includes actions for employers.
