Women 'fear for partners' jobs'
Updated on 08 January 2009
A third of women fear their partner could be made redundant this year, with many saying they would not be able to survive financially for longer than a week if it happened, according to a new report.
A survey by credit report provider callcreditcheck.com showed that women aged between 35 and 44 were the most insecure about how to cope with their partner's redundancy.
The financial stress caused by someone losing their job could lead to the breakdown of a relationship, the report warned.
Owen Roberts, head of callcreditcheck.com, said: "Arguments over money can cause real problems in a relationship and 2009 is set to be a very difficult year for many couples, especially those faced with the threat of redundancy, along with rising bills and remortgage worries."
