What you said Bobert was: "Reform the tax codes that allow the rich to hide income in accounts off-shore" when it is already illegal. "It is legal to have an offshore account, provided it is reported and any taxes are paid. Failure to disclose such holdings is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison." Did you read that OK Bobert or do you need some help? New glasses? Just fess up and admit that you parrot things that are not true and then try to blame it on somebody else. You are very big on blaming someone and small on personal accountability. Babysitting coops: YOUNG WOMEN WORK Community Economic Development to Reduce Women's Poverty and Improve Income Molly McCracken, with Kate Dykman, Francine Parent and Ivy Lopez Partners: Andrews Street Family Centre Prairie Women's Health Centre of Excellence SEED Winnipeg Inc. Wolseley Family Place Project #105 Worker-owned Child Care Coop: Provide loans for young women with low incomes to be trained as Early Childhood Educators. Loans are forgivable if young women start a worker-owned Child Care Coop in the inner-city and are working members for two years. Proper supports and infrastructure would have to be provided to train worker members and help them to set up the centre, get capital for building etc. YOUNG WOMEN WORK discussion on this topic found in the literature scan for this research project. More direction from the Aboriginal community is important because we know that teen pregnancy and motherhood have important implications for young woman's education, economic status, and health. Teenaged mothers are less likely to finish their education, although they may return to finish at a later date. Staying out of school for a portion of time does set them back. Additionally, since they are more likely to be single, they lack a partner to contribute to household income, therefore they are more likely to live in poverty. If they do become pregnant, teens with low incomes have a higher probability of parenting their children than choosing to terminate the pregnancy. Winnipeg pregnancy rates by income quintile demonstrate that: …birth rates were highest, and abortion rates lowest, among young women in the lowest income quintiles. Birth rates decreased, and abortion rates increased, with each income quintile. Pregnant young women in Winnipeg's wealthiest neighbourhoods were least likely to give birth and most likely to terminate their pregnancies. What is the connection between poverty and teen pregnancy? "Research has shown that those teens who have low expectations of their own future have a higher risk of teenage pregnancy and often welcome the pregnancy as a way to bring meaning to their lives" . Lack of supports for teen mothers means that they often experience risks such as low income, low expectations of their futures, low self-esteem, alienation within family, sexual abuse, and poor parenting...." http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/admin/vh_external/pwhce/pdf/yww.pdf
