Anybody know more about this?
The article seems fairly garbled. At one point it talks about offering help to "stay-at-home mothers who miss out on state pension rights if they do not work for at least 10 years in full time employment". In another place it says "women would be entitled to a full state pension regardless of how many years they had worked".
Is this aimed at *parents* who stay at home to look after the kids, or just women who stay at home to look after the kids, or women who don't work whether they have kids or not?
Also, even if you don't start work until your early twenties, you still have
40-odd years until you reach 65. Spending 30+ years unable to work full time because you are looking after your children seems unusual.
