A report from the Family and Parenting Institute concludes that Britain gets low marks for family friendly policies.

  • It costs £200,000 to raise a child from birth to 21
  • The cost of a nursery place rose by 5.1% last year
  • The average child in the UK sees between 20,000 and 40,000 TV ads a year

But the study says work-life balance in the UK is a success, compared with other European countries.
