The four pie charts illustrate employment statistics for British mothers of young children. They are organized according to the age of the youngest dependent child, and there are three categories of mother: working full-time, part-time, or not working.
Overall. we can see that as their youngest child ages, women are more likely to work outside the home, and to work more hours. Despite this, it is notable that even with their youngest child over the age of 10 the majority of them do not return full-time to their careers.
Predictably, carers for infants between 0 and 2 and toddlers between 3 and 4 show the highest rates of unemployment, with 70% and 54% out of work, respectively. Interestingly, the number of these parents with full-time jobs almost doubles between these two age categories, reaching 35% in the latter, while the number working part time remains unchanged, accounting for 11%.
As mentioned previously, with regards to mothers of children of school-going age (5-10+), although the majority still opt to stay home for most of the day (52%-55%), just under half are now working full-time (48%-45%).
