TAMBA Research findings: Families of Multiple Births Face Double The Financial Trouble
22 Mar 10
TAMBA reports on the significant financial hardship which effects twins and multiple births families according to a major new study by researchers from the University of Birmingham.
'The Effects of Twins and Multiple Births Families and Their Living Standards', which is supported by the Twin and Multiple Births Association, found that families with multiple births were more likely to report a drop in their income level following the birth of their children. They were also twice as likely as families of singletons to report ‘quite difficult’ financial stress. The report also found that twins and triplets experienced higher levels of material deprivation, and their families were more likely to separate or divorce.
