One-Third Of Parents Stressed Over Money
One-third of parents are left stressed due to money worries, according to a new survey.
The study, carried out by the Irish Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (IACP), found that in spite of the improving economic situation, 32% of respondents with children were stressed due to financial concerns.
The survey was carried out by Behaviour & Attitudes on behalf of the IACP.
IACP spokesman Shane Kelly said: "We are particularly concerned that more parents are now experiencing stress due to their finances than in 2013. We expected that better economic conditions would have seen this figure decrease and not rise.
"It is clear that not everyone is feeling the effects of the economic recovery and this is borne out by our latest survey. Stress due to financial concerns continues to be a significant problem for a large part of the population, especially parents and people in the 35-64 age groups."
