#1 Paying salary to house keepers

On October 8th, we discussed the topic “Should we pay salary to house keepers?" The panels were Mikako, Chinatsu, Mami, Nanase, and Aya.
This discussion was discussed by four position people. If the system is introduced, all time house keepers will be able to get 100,000yen in a month. Also, the women who work out of their house in the day and do housework in their house can get 70,000yen in a month.
However, there were some problems to introduce the system. First, the definition of house keeper is difficult. The panels said that house keeper is to do housework, and not single. Second, they discussed the definition of all time house keepers. The audience, Ayumi talked about her family. In her house, her grand mother does almost the housework. Her mother works in the day. However, after her work, she does housework with Ayumi’s grand mother. So, if the system is introduced, Ayumi’s mother will be able to her work’s salary and house keeper salary, 70,000 yen. Just maybe, this system might increase the number of white hands. 100,000 yen is not expensive but nit cheap. 70,000 yen is, too. Before house keepers get their salary, we should decide where the salary comes from. Some panels said that we should pay the house keepers’ salary as tax from our salary. However, if the workers who get less than 100,000 yen salary in a month, this tax is big charge. So, we they discussed the definition about the tax, there was no good idea.
As a result, we left some problems, and could not get together.

  1. Hi Reika,
    Thank you for your comments about this discussion. Your observations are quite right, however I wonder what your personal opinion is to this problem. Do you think housekeepers should get a guaranteed salary from the government?
    By the way, what does 'white hands' mean?
