A recent survey by the charity Pregnant Then Screwed showed 60% of the women they spoke to who had had an abortion in the last 5 years made that difficult decision because of childcare costs. Childcare costs have increased 60% in cash terms between 2010 and 2021, twice as fast as average earnings, according to the latest survey by Coram Family and Childcare, a charity that promotes children鈥檚 rights. They also say a full-time nursery place for an under-two in London is now 拢19,000 a year

Pregnant Then Screwed founder, Joeli Brearley, joined Anita Rani on 麻豆社 Radio 4's Woman鈥檚 Hour to discuss the impact this rising cost of childcare is having on women.
