    What do mums want?

    NEW REPORT: Mums told us they want family friendly work, more parenting time (not less) with young children, an economy that allows for care, and a village of support. Much of this is not new, it just now needs to be delivered.  Birth rates have slumped but most young women want children. We must make the UK the best place for them to be a mum.

    Our project on what mums want.

    Hear more on what we wanted to understand from mums' needs, in the early years of their children's lives.

The Other Half is a non-partisan think tank, based in the UK. We explore policy options that work for women. We will spur mainstream political thinking which builds women’s interests in from the start, considers whole system change, and properly represents the richness and reality of modern life. Our work spans Public Life, Justice, and Mothers, and Others.
