Bright Horizons Research: Modern Families Index 2025
Of the 3,000 working parents and carers surveyed by Bright Horizons, nearly a third are feeling very stressed, and there is a drop in perception that their employer cares about – or will provide support for – their family responsibilities.
This research explores the issues and challenges that face working parents today, with suggestions and solutions that will help employers engage, retain and plan for an ever-changing future.
Key highlights from this year’s report include:
- 73% of working parents would consider an employer’s support for family life before accepting / applying for a promotion or a new job.
- Perception of being supported by employers is falling, from 77% (2023) to 72% (2024) to 68% in 2025.
- Over half (51%) of parents are concerned or very concerned about their children’s mental health.
