Re: Housewife 'wage'

While I don`t agree with this idea, and I certainly wouldn`t argue for more to be paid, a sum of £150 a week really isn`t going to make it worthwhile for anyone to take up this offer. It just about equates with minimum wage, assuming a 35 hour working week, but for a large number of people this is going to represent a drop in income that isn`t particularly attractive. Even if you end up paying for child care there will a lot of mothers for whom this isn`t a finanancially viable option.
