Lightbulb How is it in other countries?

You're absolutely right.
In Cuba we do have a pension for housekeepers but it is kind of related to welfare and I am not sure if it's only for widows that are housekeepers (who never worked in their lives) so they get a pension from the government, a subsidy-kind-of and this is related to the salary his late husband used to earn.
Here in Cuba, nobody gets anything extra for their children. In fact, the actual data shows that the Cuban population is getting everytime older, nobody wants to have kids anymore. So, what we have here is a Child allowance that the divorced father pays to the mother who has the custody of the child.
I think we have started a very interesting information exchange here and it would be more interesting if other people would join and tell how things work in their countries. Don't you think?
