More and more women go out to work. It is the government's responsibility to subsidise them and provide free staffs and facilities to care for children. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this idea?
With an increasing proportion of women joining the workforce, some people believe that
governments
should give working mothers
subsidies and provide children with free care
. I completely agree with this
view, but believe that people should not always expect reality to immediately conform to it. On the one hand, generally speaking, the state should give handouts to working mothers
and provide free care
for children. Families with both parents going out to work often cannot rely on friends or family members to take care
of their young ones for them but have to use childcare services, such
as day nurseries or after-school care
programs, which can have rather high fees. The policy in question therefore
encourages mothers
to join the workforce and greatly reduces the likelihood of children being left uncared for by working parents wanting to save money, the former of which in turn boosts economic development. However
, at the present moment, governments
of poorer developing countries are by no means capable of giving assistance to families with working mothers
. They simply do not have the money to do so, especially when large parts of their country’s population still do not have access to basic necessities, such
as clean running water and electricity, and its healthcare, education and other essential social services are still inadequately funded. A majority of said governments
even have huge budget deficits, are in serious debt, and are relying heavily on foreign financial aid for their continuing functioning. In conclusion, my conviction is that although
all governments
should subsidize working mothers
and provide free childcare services, citizens of third-world countries should not expect to be given these benefits anytime soon.Submitted by linh22032000 on
