In many countries, teenagers are being encouraged to do part-time jobs. Some people think it is a positive development while others disagree. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Part-time jobs are acquiring increasing popularity among youngsters in many demographics of the world.

Although

they do make a positive contribution in inculcating a sense of coordination with others, they mostly

their attention from studies, thereby affecting it adversely. In my opinion, teenagers are far-off better doing part-time jobs despite the challenges that they will inevitably face.

Firstly

, and as I opine too, the significance of working part-time should not be refuted. No matter how trivial, but it promises them a fixed amount of money, thereby helping them in meeting their monthly expenses.

jobs, infuse

a sense of coordination with others and instil great interpersonal skills into them. These attributes help them in getting better job opportunities later in life. To illustrate, a great majority of employers in the UK, agreed that they prefer candidates who have past experience of part-time

over those who do not.

financially, but

aid adolescents in getting superior job chances ultimately and

therefore

should be encouraged.

Nonetheless

, it is asserted by some people that doing part-time

work

is not without its negatives,

however

. It deviates students from their academics. They hardly pay any attention to their studies and are caught in the vicious circle of earning more and more, resulting in deteriorating academic outcomes.

Moreover

, they are left with little or no free time for leisure which may impose many stress-related health conditions.

For instance

, according to a research conducted at McGill University, Canada, two-thirds of students who

work

part-time were found to produce unsatisfactory academic results.

Therefore

, if they continue to do

academically, but

it poses them health-related threats as well. To conclude, part-time

work

is becoming incredibly widespread. Despite being a financial aid to adolescents at a tender age and bringing a positive change in their personality, part-time jobs result in poor exam grades and health-related issues. In my opinion and as a contradiction of sorts,

although

it has some drawbacks, it proves to be a positive development in the long-run.
