Modern Families Index: The State of Childhood Report 2025

The insights from our recently-released Modern Families Index UK Report 2025 highlight the challenges and concerns of 3,000 randomly-selected working parents, with suggestions and solutions to help employers engage and retain talent, enhance productivity and plan for an ever-changing future. 

This new summary report – The State of Childhood – explores the respondents’ key parental concerns in four crucial areas: educational development, social skills, physical health, and mental health. It also highlights the skills parents consider essential for their children's success in a world increasingly influenced by technological progress and changing societal norms. 

The report offers valuable insights for employers on how to better support their workforce by addressing both the immediate and future needs of working parents. By doing so, organisations can enhance their culture and employee experience, boost productivity, foster inclusivity, and improve retention, all while preparing the next generation for future challenges and opportunities.
