Yes there is a subtle agenda in a lot of discussions about pay. There were a few reports on "research" (for a life insurance co.) Healining that full time mothers do £33,000 of unpaid work a year. Most reports then went on to note fathers did £23,000 of unpaid work. Of course the gloss but on this was generally that men do less. However the Fathers are also in full time employment (perhaps research done prior to the recession) making it rather unsurprising that mothers do "40 per cent" more household work.

So taking the average wage to be £25,000 a year plus the £23,000 of unpaid work then the fathers contribution is £48,000 p.a.!

Now there is a headline one wouldn't see
