Hello I gave up work this year to mind my two children. Does anyone know if I should start paying my own stamp towards my old age pension. I'm 35. I know it's along way away but don't want to get caught out nearer the time.
 
You should qualify for Homemaker scheme until children are 12. Read the full criteria:
 
I'm in the same situation but confused by the proposed Total Contributions Approach. If at the moment the Homemakers scheme disregards time caring in the home when calculating the average contributions - how will homemakers be protected if it's the absolute number of contributions that will be counted (TCA approach)?
