Another insult to stay-home mothers: Osborne plans to give childcare vouchers to working couples on up to £300,000
Online voucher system expected to benefit about 2.5m households
Even two parents who earn £150,000 a year each will get payments
But plan has been criticised as an 'insult' to stay-at-home mothers


Plans to give childcare vouchers to families with two working parents were branded ?deeply insulting? to stay-at-home mothers last night.
George Osborne will today unveil a scheme to hand up to £1,200 of taxpayer-funded childcare per child to families where both parents have a job, in a bid to encourage women back into the workplace.
But the Chancellor was accused of ?stigmatising? mothers who stay at home to care for their children, and of ?discriminating against? traditional families. One critic said it was a ?further example of how out of touch he is?.

Under the plans, the scheme will be available to double-income households where neither parent earns more than £150,000 ? meaning families with incomes of up to £300,000 could still benefit.
This is in sharp contrast to the cuts to child benefit, which have hit the incomes of families where just one parent earns more than £50,000.

The childcare handouts will be available from September 2015 to working parents with children aged five and under
Campaigners say the double standard shows the Government does not value the parenting role of stay-at-home mums, and today?s plans are another insult to women who choose to leave work to raise their children.
Working parents will be able to claim 20 per cent of childcare costs up to a limit of £6,000 per year per child, meaning up to £1,200 could be claimed for each child. The average cost of a part-time nursery place for a child under two in the UK is more than £5,000 a year.
The scheme will be available to up to 2.5million families and will save a typical working family with two children up to £2,400 per year. But more than a million stay-at-home mothers and the 200,000 house-husbands in Britain will not see a penny.
The childcare handouts will be available from September 2015 to parents with children aged five and under. By 2020, all children under 12 will be included.
The proposals were announced in the Budget in March. But Mr Osborne has widened the scheme so that people working as carers and those on maternity or paternity pay can also claim.
Last night, he sought to justify the changes, claiming they would encourage ?strivers? to take work.
He said: ?This Government is on the side of people who want to work hard and get on in life. Tax-free childcare will help working parents by giving them more choice and better access to the quality, affordable childcare they need.?
But Laura Perrins of the pressure group Mothers at Home Matter attacked the Chancellor?s suggestion that stay-at-home mothers did not want to get on in life. ?It?s just a further example of how out of touch he is,? she told the Mail.
?It is deeply insulting to those of us that look after our children. This is typical of the stigmatising language ministers use. They are singling out people who choose to care for their children as failures.?

Mrs Perrins, who gave up her job as a barrister to raise her two children, added: ?It is clearly discriminatory to put this money in the pockets of working families earning £300,000 while taking child benefit from single-income families.
Children have a right to be brought up by their parents and this government is doing all they can to separate mothers from their children.?
'It is deeply insulting to those of us that look after our children.
'This is typical of the stigmatising language ministers use.
'They are singling out people who choose to care for their children as failures.'

Former defence minister Sir Gerald Howarth also condemned the move.
He said: ?The Prime Minister is rightly championing the importance of family, yet here we are proposing to shell out taxpayers? money to working households and penalise mother who decide to stay at home.?
Siobhan Freegard, of parenting site Netmums.com, said: ?Childcare is UK?s families biggest expense after mortgage or rent payments, so any move to help struggling parents cover the cost is to be welcomed.
'But it makes no provision for lone parents and by giving help to families on mega salaries of up to £300,000, the Government risks looking elitist.?
Neil Leitch, chief executive of the Pre-School Learning Alliance, which represents childcare providers, branded the plans ?perverse?.
He said: ?This tax break does nothing to support those who choose to sacrifice their salary and put their careers on hold to stay at home and look after their young children.
To now offer this money to a couple whose dual earnings could reach £300,000 but not to a couple earning a fraction of this amount who choose to have one parent stay at home seems perverse.?

Cualquier decisión va a discriminar a alguien.

En este caso, las familias con sus dos miembros trabajando tienen el gasto de tener que contratar a una persona que cuide a su hijo, por lo que tiene cierto sentido que estas personas tengan acceso a más ayudas.

Con los baremos no estoy de acuerdo. Si los dos miembros de la familia ganan 300.000 libras no parece que necesiten una ayuda, salvo que sean familias numerosas o algo así (y muy numerosas han de ser, que UK no es tan caro como para andar justo de dinero con esos ingresos).
