					<description><![CDATA[I only have two words to say to all this: tal-biki.

I can&#039;t believe it that JM simply doesn&#039;t understand that first you create jobs and then people are encouraged to go out working.

And this &quot;nisa li jahdmu&quot; balderdash.  If a woman has brains she works.

 If a woman imagines herself as a baby-minder for the rest of her life, she doesn&#039;t.

It&#039;s as simple as that.

And that&#039;s the mentality with which you would have been brought up. No government policy can change that, I believe.

I&#039;ve always wanted to work, and I do. Women I know, who don&#039;t, believe that it&#039;s their role in society not to work.

Well, bless them, but that&#039;s why I believe it&#039;s just a mentality.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;..there’s no guarantee that women will bother taking them up (even if they’re free of charge and you lay on transport)...&quot;

Actually, there&#039;s a guarantee that women won&#039;t take them up.

Considering that despite the attempted viral proliferation by ETC using every means imaginable (I got a message on Facebook, Twitter and via SMS), their scheme which offered 25 euros a week for a few hours of training in an area of their choice is still widely unsuccessful.

We have to face the music here - traditional Maltese housewives, complain as they might about lack of income or boredom, do not want to do anything to improve their position, unless it&#039;s one of those &quot;work-from-home&quot; jobs.]]></description>
