Meanwhile, the U.K. became the most expensive country for childcare. Looks like the U.K. is really becoming a “hostile place” to raise children: parents in the country spend on average more than 25% of their salary on childcare-related costs. Add that to the cost-of-living crisis, inflation, and high rents, and many young parents are left with no other choice than to give up work to take care of their children. YPulse’s research shows that 75% of Millennial parents in the U.K. say they underestimated how much it costs to raise children, roughly +20pts more than other European countries.
