2021/22 Census household estimate
Parent vote: modelled estimate from national parent voting propensities applied to the actual 2024 result — not constituency polling. Support for 3–6 weeks with higher pay: Green 66%, Labour 60%, Liberal Democrat 56%, Conservative 44%, Reform UK 43% (More in Common, March 2026).
Source: The Dad Shift constituency model, Production Model v12, applying published evidence (JRF/CPP, University of Bath, ONS/ASHE, NHS, Commons Library) to each constituency's own birth cohort, resident pay and Census data. 88.9% is an international father take-up benchmark, not a UK forecast. JRF/CPP money figures are in 2023 prices and are not scaled by take-up. Economic output is associated with local families, not constituency GVA. All figures are approximate. A methodology note is available on request: hello@thedadshift.org.
What's in the briefing
For every constituency: how many working dads would be covered by six properly paid weeks and how many would take them; what a dad on £30,000 would gain; the support it would put behind local families; the recovery and mental-health cohorts of mothers who would gain a partner at home; the cliff facing working mothers; and the net economic output associated with local families. Labour-held seats also get a politics sheet on parents as a voting bloc.
