    During the latest census done in the country, the authorities termed Housewives as "Unproductive Citizens" and grouped them with beggars and prostitutes.

    What is your reaction to this news? Do you think this kind of thinking is justified?

    we can call them only as idiots. ok any way let us explain it to them. A working lady has to leave her kid in a crech. she has to pay some amount. Indirectly a house wife earns that amount.
    A penny saved is a penny earned. This way , teaching her own child or looking after thier aged in-laws. All the husbands are willing to send their wives to work outside?

    The most idiotic offensive words. No words to express my anger.A housewife never studied any management science to manage the old inlaws,household chores, growth of children, their education, their welfare. In these activities she never even looks after herself. Even more pitiable case with working women who has to balance both things.If i have the power to catogarise housewives, i'll put them as most economically productive people as without them they can realise that

    This is very very offensive. A house wife does so many works in house from managing the home to raising the kids.

    Its idiotic to group them with beggers and prostitutes:rant

    [JUSTIFY]Why can't they just leave housewife as a separate category? I think being a housewife is such a unique job that it cannot be combined with any other job description.

    All the other jobs in the world have only a certain responsibility or job description but the housewife has to don multiple caps based on the role she is performing at that particular point of time - mother, teacher, chef, economic advisor, coach, interior designer, list goes on and on. Moreover housewives save a lot of money due to the various tasks they perform.

    I'd say they are more productive than most working people. :hatsoff to all the housewives out there!!!
