The Minister of State said that female labour force participation now stands at 49%. In recent years, in particular, there has been a spectacular increase in the number of women in the workforce. That only happened because women are needed in the workforce. There was rarely any real encouragement for women to join the workforce until such time as employers needed them. The result has been the introduction of individualisation into the tax regime and the paying of much lip-service to female labour force participation. I clearly recall that in the 1980s, when women were fighting for much better social protection and provision, few people were calling for women to leave the home and join the workforce. We would never have seen anything like tax individualisation emerging at that stage.
