Overview

• A Körber‑Stiftung survey of about 1,000 parents finds 79% feel burdened in everyday life, with 28% reporting strong strain.
• Half of parents say their biggest child‑related concern is media use, with fathers slightly more worried than mothers.
• Geopolitics weighs heavily on families, as 54% cite wars and crises as a major burden, and 51% say they lack time for themselves.
• Around seven in ten parents think schools fall short on future‑relevant skills, and many want media literacy taught jointly by home and school.
• A separate YouGov poll reports school‑related tasks are still seen mainly as a mother’s responsibility (47% versus 8% for fathers).
