Flex for Life 2025 Parents Report

This report looks specifically at Scottish parents’ experiences of working flexibly and their efforts to find flexible jobs, and is intended to support policymakers, employability providers, charities and anyone involved in parental employment, especially as a means to reduce child poverty.
This is a sister paper to our annual Flex for Life research report, which looks at flexible working for all Scottish workers and unemployed adults looking for work, not just parents. Our wider report also analyses data from Scottish employers. If you’re interested in flexible working more generally, you may prefer our main Flex for Life report.
