According to the Prince's Trust, unstable households lead to young people leaving school with no good GCSEs of which the chances are two times more.

The research conducted by the trust stated that people who did not have a good education were also likely to have heard fewer bedtime stories and did not have support at home as compared to their peers who were successful.

Children who did not have a good grade also had parents who did not assist them in their homework. The charity's fourth annual Youth Happiness Index stated that stability at home was linked to success in later life.

Students who did well in their studies stated that they had someone who helped them with their studies at home as compared with those who were poor on the academic front.

The aim of the survey was to find the difference between people who were good at studies and those who were not when it came to the atmosphere at their home and what kind of help did they get with their studies from parents.

Heather Gray, director of The Prince's Trust Scotland, said, "It's clear from the research that the absence of structure and routine in a young person's life can have a devastating impact."
