Young Women's Trust

It's time to make #YoungWomenCount

Help us show how much young women are worth.

Young women’s unpaid work keeps families afloat, provides job opportunities for others and drives economic growth. Without it society would fall apart.

Add up your unpaid hours so the government sees that young women count.

We’ve calculated the value of each type of unpaid work based on the latest data from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings. Where data was unavailable, previous year’s figures were uprated at the rate of inflation.
