The petition highlights the existence of the framework of rules that apply to people in this situation. It articulates the problem clearly and asks us as public representatives and policy makers in a society that is developing whether we should investigate it as a matter of policy and alter that framework rule to include and to reflect a better fairness in the working lives of people who have worked outside the home for a wage and worked within the home to raise a family as unpaid work.

This would highlight in a clear and articulate way that this is a problem which affects a large number of people and not just a few.
