Summary
In summary, these results provide additional support to the educational aspects of the au pair program, which allows participants to acquire language and career skills, while they provide child care support to their host families. English is by far the most popular language and au pairs are most interested in being an au pair where English is the primary language spoken. We believe the popularity of au pair programs in native English speaking countries is related to broader international education trends that also support this data. Below is a data table which details the results mentioned above:
