I One of the things to be taken into s account by those concerned for the fall in the birthrate, she said, was the present discrimination against married women workers. “There are many young girls who are earning nearly tw;oe as much as the young man with whom they walkout. “A young man earning from 30s to 35s a week is going to think twice before he asks a girl who is earning £3 a week to marry him, which means she dl may have to give up her job and live tc with him on 35s a week.”
