Every day we pull some stats from a survey and say have a chat about the findings. Today: Londoners’ views on employment after having children.
29 per cent of Londoners said that they didn’t return to work after having a child.
29 per cent said they didn’t want to spend time away from their child after giving birth.
Nearly a third (32 per cent) only wanted to return to work part-time.
13 per cent believe having children has restricted their career.
