Women are better at childcare than men therefore they should focus more on raising children and less on their working life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Although

the care of children has traditionally been the

role

of women, nowadays many men have decided to stay at home to raise children while the woman in the family goes to work.

However

, some people believe that women have a natural ability for

and

this

role

Use synonyms

should be left to them. I disagree with

this

for the following reasons.

Firstly

,

both

Use synonyms

men and women have qualities which are important for bringing up and educating children. These qualities are not specific to men or women,

therefore

Linking Words

both

genders are able to raise children successfully. By saying that

childcare

is a specific female

role

Use synonyms

, children will receive a message which portrays women as carers only.

For example

, young girls who are taught to believe that the place of women is in the home may not try hard in school subjects which are more male dominated,

such

as science.

Secondly

, the

role

of women in the workplace has changed significantly in the

last

fifty years. Many women now hold senior positions in many areas of employment. Women contribute a range of skills to the workplace which are

valuable and important. In my opinion, women should continue to focus on their careers and ensure that their daughters are aware of the opportunities which are available to them in life. Men should

also

take on some of the responsibility of

and teach their sons that

men as well as women. In conclusion, it is important that men and women share

duties because

both

However

, women and men should

be allowed to focus on their careers and provide strong

models for children.
