01 Aug 2021 Reports
In May 2021, Raising Films Ireland launched a survey to identify the issues facing carers and parents today. Given the nature of the work, for many individuals working in Irish film, television or animation, becoming a parent or a carer brings numerous challenges.
The survey was completed by 455 respondents. The vast majority live in Leinster, with over half in Dublin. 76% of respondents identify as female, 23% identify as male. 61% of respondents are freelancers or self–employed, and working in a variety of positions across the industries; writer, director, producer, and in a range of roles categorised as ‘crew’.
73% have caring responsibilities.
Of those with caring responsibilities, 79% are caring for children.
