Mothers have to face “adequate and long lasting” deficiency in earnings after children have children, new research has shown.
A Study From National statistics office (ONS) found that five years after the birth of the first child, the monthly income was average, 42 percent less – a loss of £ 1,051 per month – compared with income a year ago.
The deficit remained during the study period (in England in 2014–2022).
Cumulatively, ONS received a total loss of total earnings in five years, which was an average of £ 65,618 after the first child, with an additional £ 26,317 after each other and £ 32,456 after one third.
Part of this shortage was held responsible for the reduction in employment.
After the first birth, the most important earnings declined, followed by every latter child continuously for five years.

“This is the price that is paying mams – 42 percent of their salary – for five years after their first child. It is completely disgusting, and the more children you have, the more deep drops you have.

“It is not a benign decline – it is a financial freefolk resulting in a financial loss of more than £ 100,000 for the mother of three children.
“If men experienced such punishment to become parents, we had corrected it years ago. Instead, women are punished for care, work is ignored at work, and expected to absorb costs.
“Is it a wonder that women are producing children today?
“We need immediate improvement – Childcare that does not insolve you, parents’ holiday that makes sense, and workplace which stops behaving motherhood as a liability and instead flexes their roles to help mothers navigate the infamous Jugal and start nipping for all the time and all for all.”
