Number of UK working mothers with dependent children on the rise
The number of UK working mothers with dependent children has risen by over a million in the past 20 years, according to the country’s Office for National Statistics (ONS). Nearly 73.7% of women in this category are now employed, up 11.8% from 1996. Women with children aged between three and four were the least likely to work full-time, and the most likely to have part-time employment, though even this group has seen drastic growth.
