Global Working Parents Report
The most inclusive parental leave policies around the world
Today’s working parents face a unique set of pressures
Working parents around the world continue to navigate the complexities of balancing professional responsibilities with parenting. Amid return-to-office mandates, rising inflation, and the increasing cost of living globally, the financial and emotional burdens of childcare have become more pressing than ever.
In response, Remote conducted a global survey of 13,850 working parents across 13 regions — the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, Finland, Belgium, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, and South Korea — to understand the unique challenges they face at work and how companies around the world can better support their needs. All respondents worked white collar "desk jobs” and have at least one child under five years old. Each region's respondents were evenly split between fully remote, hybrid and in-office working arrangements.
