MPs and campaigners have declared there has been a parliamentary “sea change” on women's issues, as a range of topics primarily affecting women are taking an ever more prominent place in politics.
A Conservative MP has said Parliament remains a “very outdated workplace” for parents with young children and that “special consideration” should be made for MPs to ensure their children can access onsite childcare.
Chair of the Education Select Committee Robin Walker has said Government childcare measures must go further to support families and the early years sector, urging the government to expand provisions to graduate students and disadvantaged groups.
The founder of an influential parenting charity has said that the free childcare expansion promised by Government could leave parents “really disappointed” if they do not see a significant fall in their childcare costs.
Conservative MP and former Home Office minister Robert Jenrick has accused his party of having a "fatalistic attitude" towards young people and suggested that they should attempt to follow the example of similar parties in Europe and North America where they have done better in courting younger voters.
A centrist group of Conservative MPs has called for a series of measures to be put in the Chancellor's Spring Budget that would deliver changes for new parents and students.
Ask any American with young children what their No. 1 household expense is, and you’ll hear the same answer almost every time: child care. Each family finds its own way to manage. Some parents are pushed out of the workforce. Others work jobs they wouldn’t take otherwise, or hold down multiple jobs in order to meet their families’ needs.
The birth rate in the United States has shown an overall decline over recent decades. People are choosing to have fewer children, having children later in life and increasingly deciding to remain child free. There are multiple factors contributing to this trend, including access to reproductive healthcare (limited to a much smaller number of states since the fall of Roe) and increasing educational and career opportunities for women.
