Families Discrimination


Two-parent families are being 'brutally discriminated' against by the Government's strategy to tackle child poverty, according to a report by a Labour MP, Frank Field.
A two-parent family on minimum wage would have to work 116 hours a week to earn the same as a single mother working just 16 hours a week, it says.
