September 1, 2025
Married women with children are significantly more likely to describe themselves as “very happy” compared to single or childless women, according to a new study.
The 2025 Women’s Well-being Survey (WWS), conducted by YouGov and commissioned by the Institute for Family Studies (IFS) and the Wheatley Institute, surveyed 3,000 women between the ages of 25 to 55 across the US.
