Majority of working parents say they take care of work-related tasks when they’re with their kids
Pew found 54% of working parents say balancing work and family is difficult, and only 24% report high telework flexibility.
- A Pew Research Center survey of 2,242 U.S. working parents conducted between March 2-15 found that 70% regularly juggle family and job duties, with boundaries between work and family life increasingly blurred.
- More than half of working parents said balancing work and family obligations is difficult, while about half reported their job makes it harder to be a good parent.
- Mothers are significantly more likely to report handling parenting duties during work hours, with 81% doing so at least sometimes, compared with 62% of mothers finding balance difficult.
- Six in 10 respondents believe they spend too little time with their children, with nearly half missing important events such as school performances and sports games due to work.
- While most parents say working from home would be helpful, only 24% report having high flexibility to telework. Lower-income parents face additional strain, lacking paid leave or employer-provided benefits.
