There was a time when it was the norm for women to sacrifice any prospect of a career because of their responsibility for childcare.
Unwilling to succumb to this stereotype I remember the moment when I decided that even if all my salary went on childcare, I’d still work.
Things haven’t changed much. One in five people (19%) in Britain say childcare issues stopped them from applying for a job, or promotion at work, or caused them to leave work, or to consider leaving a job.
