A survey made by cosmetics company Heat Group have come across that 12 percent of women currently pay child minders in cash. A further 57 percent said they would consider hiring a child minder for cash if they couldn't find childcare that suited their budget. Last year, a parliamentary inquiry heard evidence that the black market in childcare could be worth as much as $6 billion. Nannies employed for cash avoid the taxman costing the government revenue but parents could be putting their children at risk for the reason that the carer is both unregistered and unregulated as well. A survey was made on the black market in childcare and was run on the Heat Group's website and nearly 160 women responded. Sixteen percent of respondents under 25-40 of age said they were employing a child minder and paying cash at present and 60 percent said they would consider paying cash for childcare.
