Caregiver Credit is based in NY, USA.
They are an advocate group that stands up for the rights of all caregivers, from young to elderly.
I endorse Social Agenda’s campaign to convert the federal Child Tax Credit to a Caregiver Credit!
Caregiving is more than a labor of love. Endorse TR Rose Associates Whether done by a mother or father, son, daughter or any responsible loved one, whoever shoulders the caregiving responsibilities has to choose between taking time off of paid work, remaining out of the job market, or leaving a paying job; it is a matter of dollars and cents. If an alternative such as a daycare center for children with or without disabilities, a nursing home for frail, elderly parents or relatives, or home care for an ailing friend or spouse is required, it also costs.
To this end, we call for a Caregiver Tax Credit that:
* Is fully refundable - those who don’t owe taxes get the credit in a check
* Covers care of frail, disabled or ailing adults in addition to children
* Lets caregivers choose by covering caregivers working inside the home and out
* Increases its value over time to more closely resemble the real cost of giving care

It has not been easy to the origins - stilato a Charter - to find the job methodology, to verify objects to it, to discover to you ambles you of presence, service, of testimony, formulas to act political. We have had to coordinate in one tradition and innovation, fantasy and inventiveness, the creativity of our being and to become with all the difficulties of the distances, the requirement to proceed with speditezza to the complexity of the problems and the possible solutions.
The problem at the beginnig - or better in ours first years - was that one to mediate between ideal pushes and concrete operativity, was that one to know to pick unexpressed denunciations and expectations also, frustrations and deep bitterness of the women mortified housewives from a culture that categorically supported the evolution of possible the feminine condition only through the extradomestic job.
Our associative experience, the acceptance that it has had in every part of our Country - North, Center and South in balanced measure, represents our most numerous groups and ours to you 16 regional Committees - concurs us to support the contrary. The understanding and common feeling to beyond the territorial positionings, the scopes that have joined us - quell’11 November 1982 - the organizational ability, propositiva of the job of all the groups joined to the national center from job but that they come from everyone interprets to you, rielaborati defined programs of, also put into effect to you in the fundamental respect of the assembly choices, they concur us to declare that the categorical indication of the “external job” like only half of emancipation or liberation, historically is bocciata. It can be working of the house or workers of the market and being evolute, as in a case and in the other it can it are not it.
But we come to the today. From the origins, we can say to have made much road: we are present in international and national organisms.
We are recognized from the United Nations like ONG (Not Governmental Organization).
We are present in ministerial Commission and Committees and the Committees Deep administrators INPS and INAIL previewed from the specific laws which institutional moments of the proposals in favor of the persons who carry out familiar job not retribuito deriving from familiar responsibilities, in the “National Observatory Epidemiologist on atmospheres of Life” of the ISPESL (Higher Institute for Worker Security and Protec) that we have tenaciously intentional.
L’11 August 2004 the Ministry of the Job has recognized us “Association of social promotion” (n. 87 of the national registry).
We are present in Directive the national one of the Forum of the Familiar Associations.
We are federate to the ONLY one, of which Housewives are fondatrice president (the ONLY one are the Intercontinental Union) and tutt’ hour, after six years of guide, not more eleggibile statutorily to the same role, has been elect vice-president.
We are federate to the FEFAF, that it is the European Federation of the housewives (Fédération Européenne DES Femmes Actives au Foyer), and to the European Lobby of the Women.
Of the MO.I.CA they are fondatrice and from then our associates, to every triennial assembly, they confirm the guide of the Movement.
For the housewives - but for how many they live the same condition - we strike ourselves affinchè come recognized the fundamental rights. Some laws we have obtained to them; they could be better. Hour we are using in order to obtain meaningful, substantial modifications to the normative witnesses you for the pension and the prevention and the cover in case of domestic accident (clicca on “Legislative Proposals”).
Hour we assure our engagement for better and more satisfactory goals.
You write or you put yourselves in contact with we. The union makes the force.

Full Time Mothers
UK
Once upon a time there was such a thing as child tax allowances. At their most generous, in the late fifties, 107% of the Personal Allowance was deductible in respect of a 17 year old who was still at school. The view then was that teenagers bring the greatest costs. Whether or not a mother earned as well was not an issue. A family was a single tax unit and a child was considered a dependant.
Let’s move to the seventies. “Child tax allowances are wrong, because they benefit men”, was the rallying cry. And so they were withdrawn and mothers could collect a fistful of fivers from the Post Office (and then the government soon said that a rise “could not be afforded”). And there were whispers that “they were not really necessary any more because so many mothers worked”.
And now the 1980s. With the family still being one taxable unit and there being more and more double-earner couples, a lot of couples began to pay higher rate taxation as soon as mother added her pay to the total. And so it was that in 1986 spouses now became separate fiscal units with each of them enjoying a personal tax allowance and many of them being taken out of higher rate taxation.
Pity about the one-earner couples. Like everybody else, they lost their Married Couple’s Allowance (which dated back to a time when it was unthinkable for a married woman to earn) and so the mother at home became invisible, neither seen as employed nor registered as unemployed nor made an allowance for in fiscal matters.
