Working families in England are entitled to 15 free hours of childcare, doubling to 30hrs by 2025 with the aim of keeping more parents in work and limiting costs for working families.How do childcare costs vary at home and abroad?Net childcare costs as a proportion of household income for average earners vary significantly across the OECD. For 2-3 year olds, including all social and housing benefits, the OECD average is 9% for couples and 8% for single parents. In the UK, the figures are 16% (couples) and 5% (single parents).
