Conclusion
Not Addressed
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 This not only places an unfair financial burden on entrepreneurial mothers but also reinforces outdated assumptions about gender roles and business viability.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)
Government Response Summary
The government's response did not directly address the conclusion regarding the design of tax and support systems for self-employment and entrepreneurship, instead focusing primarily on existing and future childcare provisions.
