47% of parents think Brexit will leave children worse off, report finds

Almost half of parents think Brexit will leave their children worse off as a "general sense of anxiousness" is felt among UK families, a new report has revealed.

Days before the expected triggering of Article 50, figures released by comparethemarket.com and YouGov show that just under one in three parents believe Britain's exit from the EU will benefit their children, compared to 47% of parents who think their children will be disadvantaged.
