Some people think parents should not encourage children to do part-time jobs. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?

Nowadays, in our over consumptive society, working plays a vital role in our's and our family's sustaining. Due to
this
ever increasing importance, some parents send their children to work part-time in their teenage years, while others argue that
this
course of action is not beneficial for their child. In my opinion working from a young age is very important. In
this
essay I will discuss both views.
Firstly
, the benefits for the young one and the family are numerous. At
first
glance, because of the money that the teenager will be collecting, through his hard-earned labour, it will give him the feel of being independent and help him realise what is waiting for him in the future.
Moreover
, due to the above, the individual will, in most cases
,

with multiple positive outcomes for him. To illustrate, from my own experience being employed in a restaurant from the age of 15, I had the chance to view the world with a different eye and make better and more mature decisions in my life,
such
as following a career in medicine.
Lastly
, the payout of his job can help out his parents, so that they can have more economic freedom.
On the other hand
, there are some negative views on
this
case.
First
of all, part-time labour can accumulate most of the free-time that teenagers have to either study or have extracurricular activities.
As a result
, some students might see a decrease in their grades and disregard their future, while
also
, the lack of hobbies might affect their mental stability.
For example
, a study carried out by the University of Cambridge, showed that, children that have a lack of leisure activities have a 10% more likely to be depressed in the future.
Finally
, the fatigue, due to the workload and lack of sleep can
also
affect his school performance. In conclusion, having a part-time job as a youngster has positive and negative aspects to it. But, it's my firm belief that, with the correct monitoring from the youngster's parents
,
Accept space
,
it can help him prosper in his life.
