Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many unemployed women with dependent children there were in England in each of the last 6 months.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) does not regularly publish data on unemployed women with dependent children, but in September 2017 it published the article “Families and the labour market, England: 2017” https://www.ons.gov.uk/releases/familiesandthelabourmarketengland2017
This shows that there were 197,000 unemployed women with dependent children in England in April to June 2017 and that the employment rate for these women has increased by 6.3ppts since 2010.
