President David Granger yesterday announced that the government may be open to offering tax rebates to companies that provide day care services to their workers.
“Women can’t work… because they have to take care of children. Our government is considering offering tax rebates to companies which establish day care centres for women. We want women happy when they are at work… Happy women equal happy families,” Granger said, in an address at the National Conference on Gender and Development, which was convened by the Ministry of Social Protection at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre yesterday.
Granger told the gathering that the government aims to design a national policy aimed at achieving five objectives.
