@The Pentacle Queen,
Free semi-detached house in many places. Free money yes. Free prescriptions, free dental care, freedom from parents, free double glazing, free central heating, free any other necessities on application.
Chaps allowed to stay over one night a week. Which is hard to police.
I once calculated that a single Mum would need a husband earning about twice the national average wage to get her better off than she is.
The trouble is that they try to make them get a job when their youngest has left education and they are generally not habituated to working by then.
We look after our single mothers. I daresay a fair proportion of our infantry were born of teenage Mums.
It's definitely a career option.
