Recommendation 35
35
Current tax and support systems fail to accommodate self-employed mothers adequately.
Conclusion
Current tax and support systems are largely designed for traditional employment models and fail to accommodate the realities of self- employment and entrepreneurship. This not only places an unfair financial burden on entrepreneurial mothers but also reinforces outdated assumptions about gender roles and business viability. (Conclusion, Paragraph 136)
