1000 adults (were they all mothers?) were surveyed for the poll by The Daily Telegraph newspaper and reportedly only 7% of mothers go back to work to maintain their career.
It is also reported that a similar percentage of Mums go back 'because they want a break from the family'.
The rest (ie around 66%) work because of financial reasons. Well isn't this why most men work anyway? And what of the single mother scenario - of course they have to work.
What do you think of this survey?
