What is the value of a Mum?

£32,032 a year - that's the value of a mum!

In our 'Value of a Parent' research 2011 it was highlighted that the average value of a Mum was over £32,000 a year. From the parents that participated in the research, only 54% had life insurance. The research was carried out on Legal & General's behalf between 4 and 11 January 2011.

We found that the value of the work that Mums do around the home is £32,032, that's 40% higher than Dads, who come in at £21,306.

The value of a Mum is sometimes overlooked when families try to work out their life insurance needs. The research also highlights that the average family spends £143 a week on the children, which equates to around £572 per month or £133,848 over 18 years.

If Mum was no longer alive where would that £133,848 needed to pay for domestic work and child-care come from? Who would fill the gap and help maintain the families living standards should the worst happen?
