  • answer your needs,
  • put you in contact with people 'who know',
  • raise questions on whats happening around us,
  • help you feel more empowered.

What Women Want Report

This aptly named report from the Tavistock Centre reveals what women will say in a survey but not to thier friends about work and family. 1/3 of women do not want at all and its not because they dont like work. And only 1% of women think Mothers of children under 5, should work full time.

So this means there are millions of women unhappy, dissatistified female employees. 35% of men and women think that women with children at primary school should not work at all. Yet the Government spends £21 billion on supporting women to return to work. In a Cambridge University a study it found that 46% of women said thier family have suffered as a result of returning to work.  This report also reviews research on the sensitive topic of childcare & the effect of childcare on exam results and behaviour.

Oh it s juicy stuff for coffee shop gossip!
