由于削减工资和中断职业,联合王国母亲在第一个孩子出生后五年内收入损失65 618英镑。 UK mothers lose £65,618 in earnings over five years after first child due to pay cuts and career disruptions.

一份英国报告显示,英格兰的母亲在生育第一个孩子后五年内平均收入损失65 618英镑,每月工资下降42%,这一差距与每多生一个孩子之间持续存在。 A UK report reveals mothers in England lose an average of £65,618 in earnings over five years after having their first child, with a 42% drop in monthly pay, a gap that persists with each additional child. 这些调查结果基于2014年至2022年的数据,突出说明了由于工作时间缩短、职业间歇以及难以获得负担得起的灵活儿童保育服务而导致的长期“母亲惩罚”。 The findings, based on data from 2014 to 2022, highlight a lasting "motherhood penalty" driven by reduced work hours, career breaks, and challenges accessing affordable, flexible childcare. 专家和倡导者认为这一趋势是一个植根于工作场所文化和支持不足的系统性问题,敦促对育儿假、儿童保育机会和工作场所灵活性进行改革,以解决两性不平等和经济损失问题。 Experts and advocates call the trend a systemic issue rooted in workplace culture and inadequate support, urging reforms to parental leave, childcare access, and workplace flexibility to address gender inequality and economic loss.
