Parents Survey: Barriers to Family Well-Being

A national survey of parents highlights key barriers to family well-being, with financial difficulties being a primary issue for middle- and lower-income families. These money woes prevent families from accessing simple benefits, such as spending more quality time together. The findings underscore ongoing economic challenges impacting family dynamics.

Key Points

  • Financial struggles confound middle- and lower-income families
  • Barriers prevent simple benefits like more family time
  • Survey identifies broader family well-being obstacles

Implications for Educational Freedom

Financial barriers highlighted in the survey could limit parental ability to pursue school choice options, emphasizing the need for ESAs and vouchers to empower lower-income families in accessing better educational opportunities. This supports EFI’s advocacy for reducing government overreach and enhancing parental rights in education.
