United States is considering a plan that would pay married parents close to Rs 8.5 lakh a year simply for staying home to raise their own children, instead of sending them to daycare.
According to a report by The New York Times, which cited people familiar with the matter, the Trump administration is preparing a draft rule that would let one parent claim government support if the other spouse works at least 35 hours a week. The money would come out of an already existing federal fund, not a new pot of taxpayer money.
