[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While it's a noble idea in theory, I doubt it's viable.  Because once you introduce standards and licensing then you would need to introduce a system that deals compliance: i.e. monitoring and fines or punishments for working or hiring without a license.  Depending on where the line is drawn (e.g. requirement for HS or GED) then part of the currently working people will be ineligible and out of work or working under the table for further reduced wages. That flies in the face of the argument of needing it for moral reasons.

If the standards are so lax that anyone can pass then there is no point in standards.  Further, if there is licensing in place then there will develop a sub-market of "housekeeper looking after kids" - i.e. domestic labor that's nannying but is called something else to avoid compliance, unless you want to introduce regulation to any kind of domestic work, which would be difficult to do and would likely put additional burden on market participants: someone will need to pay for licensing and enforcement - if it's to be covered by NF, then it would reduce  their ability to pay.

Last, but not least, since one of the pps brought up Sweeden: the tax rates in Scandinavia are much higher than here, and not just for high earners. That's the price they agreed to pay for social cohesion as a society, but at the rate it's going it will never happen here.[/quote]
