With all due respect if the birth rate continues to reduce then who the hell is going to support you lot in your old age?If getting working women to have children to be the future workers that will provide the income to generate future pensions and get childcare provided so they can do both...

Also if a single woman wants to get out of the poverty trap and provide for her and her child/children and the only jobs available are low paid ones then some help with childcare is a lot cheaper than paying out all the benefits that a single mother would be entitled to.

When I was paying for childcare when my children were smaller I was paying out ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£50 a week.I could afford that but a low paid single parent couldn't.I've no idea what the present rate is now..
