Effects on ChildrenImproving Lives: Helping Workless Families • Children that grow up in a workless family are twice as likely as children growing up in a working family to fail at all stages in their education • 37 % of children in workless families in England failed to reach the expected level at key stage 1 (aged 7) compared with 19% in lower-income working families • 75% of children in workless families failed to reach the expected level at GCSE, compared to 52% in lower-income working families • Tackling these problems will improve the lives of parents and their children • Without doing so, children in workless households are considerably more likely to repeat the poorer outcomes of their parent
