For many parents, child day-care centres are necessary, whether they need to use an after-school club to work longer hours, put their kids in care during holiday periods, or occasionally need help. From April 2024, parents of two-year-olds have been able to access 15 hours of childcare support, marking the beginning of the government’s awaited expansion of free childcare hours. As of September 2024, parents of children over nine months old can access 15 hours of free childcare. Children of eligible working parents over nine months will have 30 free hours of childcare a week by September 2025. However, centres have cast doubt on the feasibility of expanding free childcare hours as they struggle to grapple with costs (like rising minimum wages) and problems with retaining and recruiting staff. Over the five years through 2024-25, revenue is slated to rise at a compound annual rate of 1.3% to £5.9 billion. Forced closures, remote working and fear among parents regarding COVID-19 infection rates in childcare settings stifled requests for places over the two years through 2021-22. Since then, demand has bounced back, climbing up to pre-pandemic levels by 2022-23. While more parents having jobs is spurring demand, flexible at-home working has given parents more freedom, holding demand back slightly. Still, as child day-care centres continue to up prices to cover costs not alleviated by government funding, revenue is anticipated to grow by 2.9% in 2024-25. Revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 2.3% over the five years through 2029-30 to £6.6 billion. Expanding free childcare hours through September 2025 will heighten demand for day-care centre places. Government commitments to invest in wraparound childcare for school-aged children will give after-school clubs more support and drive revenue growth. As companies encourage employees to come into the office more, parents will have to seek more childcare options. Government funding for breakfast clubs at schools may cause revenue from before-school child care to dip in the short term. However, this creates opportunities for companies to form partnerships with schools to find a mutually beneficial solution to before-school childcare.

This is the second (wave 2) in a series of follow up reports to the Mental Health and Young People Survey (MHCYP) 2017, exploring the mental health of children and young people in February/March 2021, during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and changes since 2017. Experiences of family life, education, and services during the COVID-19 pandemic are also examined. The sample for the Mental Health Survey for Children and Young People, 2021 (MHCYP 2021), wave 2 follow up was based on 3,667 children and young people who took part in the MHCYP 2017 survey, with both surveys also drawing on information collected from parents. Cross-sectional analyses are presented, addressing three primary aims: Aim 1: Comparing mental health between 2017 and 2021 – the likelihood of a mental disorder has been assessed against completion of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) in both years in Topic 1 by various demographics. Aim 2: Describing life during the COVID-19 pandemic - Topic 2 examines the circumstances and experiences of children and young people in February/March 2021 and the preceding months, covering: COVID-19 infection and symptoms. Feelings about social media use. Family connectedness. Family functioning. Education, including missed days of schooling, access to resources, and support for those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Changes in circumstances. How lockdown and restrictions have affected children and young people’s lives. Seeking help for mental health concerns. Aim 3: Present more detailed data on the mental health, circumstances and experiences of children and young people by ethnic group during the coronavirus pandemic (where sample sizes allow). The data is broken down by gender and age bands of 6 to 10 year olds and 11 to 16 year olds for all categories, and 17 to 22 years old for certain categories where a time series is available, as well as by whether a child is unlikely to have a mental health disorder, possibly has a mental health disorder and probably has a mental health disorder. This study was funded by the Department of Health and Social Care, commissioned by NHS Digital, and carried out by the Office for National Statistics, the National Centre for Social Research, University of Cambridge and University of Exeter.

The typical American picture of a family with 2.5 kids might not be as relevant as it once was: In 2023, there was an average of 1.94 children under 18 per family in the United States. This is a decrease from 2.33 children under 18 per family in 1960.

Familial structure in the United States

If there’s one thing the United States is known for, it’s diversity. Whether this is diversity in ethnicity, culture, or family structure, there is something for everyone in the U.S. Two-parent households in the U.S. are declining, and the number of families with no children are increasing. The number of families with children has stayed more or less constant since 2000.

Adoptions in the U.S.

Families in the U.S. don’t necessarily consist of parents and their own biological children. In 2021, around 35,940 children were adopted by married couples, and 13,307 children were adopted by single women.

In 2022, about **** million U.S. family households had their own children between three and five years of age living in the household.

In 2022, there were about 25.8 million children between the ages of 12 and 17 years old living in the United States. On the other hand, there were about 22.4 million children between the ages of zero and five years old in the country.

TikTok, a social video app launched in 2016 used for sharing and creating video content, continues to grow in popularity. As of 2022, approximately 41 percent of users in the U.S. engaged with the popular social video app. Around seven in 10 respondents aged between 18 and 19 years were using TikTok, while usage among respondents aged between 20 and 29 years was approximately 56 percent.

TikTok global usage In 2021, TikTok had 1 billion active monthly users worldwide, a growth of 45 percent on the previous year. As of April 2021, the majority of global TikTok users spent less than one hour per week on the platform. Eleven percent of users spent five to ten hours a week on the app, and six percent were using it for ten hours or more per week.

Users' opinion: safety concerns and positive influenceOnline TikTok challenges and hoaxes have been a topic of discussion in recent years, with parents raising concerns about safety regarding content posted on the platform. As for U.S. adults’ opinions of TikTok, favorable attitudes towards the platform decrease with age. Overall, as of November 2021, 33 percent of users aged 18 to 34 years had a favorable opinion of the app, but just one in 10 users aged between 45 and 64 years felt the same. Around 20 percent of all adults had a very unfavorable view of TikTok. Despite the criticism, the platform hosts a large number of positive influencers, focusing on themes such as mental health awareness and body positivity. In 2021, one of the most followed TikTok educators and activists was Nicole Lilly Christou, with her profile @nikkililly reporting approximately 7.7 million followers in the United Kingdom alone.

As of 2019, about six out of every 10 young adults in Spain lived at their parent's house. While this figure went up to 83.7 percent for those aged 15 to 19 years, in the case of people aged 26 to 29, around 39 percent were in this situation. For this older group, living in their own residence was the most common housing situation, with 49.4 percent.

In 2023, the birth rate among teenagers and young adult women aged 15 to 19 stood at 13.1 births per every thousand women. This statistic shows the U.S. birth rate among teenagers and young adult women, aged 15-19 years, between 1991 and 2023. Teenage pregnancy and birth Teenage pregnancy and births are related to a number of negative outcomes. Babies born to teenage mothers are more likely to be premature and have a low birth weight, and teen mothers often experience gestational hypertension and anemia. Additionally, there are significant adverse effects on socioeconomic and educational outcomes for teenage parents. Teenage pregnancy is usually unplanned and due to the negative consequences mentioned above the ratio of legal abortions to live births in the United States is highest among teenagers. In 2022, there were 374 legal abortions per 1,000 live births among girls and young women aged 15 to 19 years, compared a ratio of 284 legal abortions per 1,000 live births among women aged 20 to 24 years. Contraceptive use among teens Contraceptive use is the best way for sexually active teenagers to avoid unwanted pregnancies, but use and accessibility remain problems in the United States. In 2021, only 23 percent of high school girls in the U.S. used the birth control pill to prevent pregnancy before their last sexual intercourse. Use of the birth control pill to prevent pregnancy is highest among white teenagers and lowest among Black teenagers, with only 11 percent of Black teenagers reporting use in 2021. Condom use is more common among high school students, but still only around half of sexually active students reported using a condom during their last sexual intercourse in 2021.

There were approximately 14.69 million millennials in the United Kingdom in 2023. This generation, sometimes called Generation Y were born between 1981 and 1996 and are mainly the children of the post-war Baby Boomer generation. As of 2023, Millennials were the largest generational cohort in the UK, followed by Generation X at 14.04 million people, Baby Boomers at 13.57 million, and then by Generation Z at 13.2 million. The most numerous single-year of age for Millennials, and the UK as a whole, was 35 at 956,116. Boomerang generation The first cohort of millennials came of age at the turn of the century and have almost certainly been heavily influenced by the growth of internet accessibility during this time. The economic challenges faced by this generation may have a relation to the increasing share of young adults who live with their parents in the UK. This has led to the perhaps unfair, characterization of millennials as the boomerang generation, who failed to grow-up and mature. Some of these negative stereotypes regarding Millennials have since shifted to the next youngest generation, Generation Z, who have started to enter the workplace since the mid-2010s. Generation Remain One of the main challenges that British millennials currently face are their prospects after Brexit. Although the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in June 2016, there were clear divisions between regions, classes and age-groups. Most millennials voted to remain in the Brexit referendum with 73 percent of people aged 18 to 24, and 62 percent of those aged 25 to 34 voting to remain. In the next UK election, the majority of 25 to 49-year-olds intend to vote for the Labour Party, with only a slight majority of those over 65 planning to vote for the Conservative Party. Millennials also still appear to oppose Brexit, with approximately 65 percent of 25 to 49-year-olds believing Brexit to have been the wrong decision.
