THE Government's policy that parents, both if partnered, single if not, have to "work to survive" needs to be reviewed for many social reasons.

Not least of these being that the burden for caring for very young children is falling on to their grandparents -- pensioners.

Unsatisfied with paying a pittance for a pension, the Government ignores the grandparents' necessary contribution to its "economic slavery" policy and therefore robs them.
