People
 have a myriad of views about whether the
government
 should give
money
 to support
people
 who have a
baby
 in order to allow the
parents
 would take
care
 of their
baby
.
Although
 there are good arguments in favour of
this
 idea, I believe the drawbacks outweigh the advantages. Regarding the positive side of supporting
people
 who just gave birth, probably the
first
 pop-up in my mind is that infants can receive better
care
. In the modern world,  most families can not afford all expenses by father or mother only.
Therefore
, most of them would like to hire someone to help them take
care
 of their
baby
 in turn allowing them would work for more
money
. Hong Kong is a classic example of
this
, many
people
 hire foreigners to stay at their homes and attend to their babies in exchange can go to work.
However
, many accidents occur due to the carelessness of those employees looking after the
baby
.
As a result
, it is best if the
parents
 can take
care
 of their
baby
 themself. Despite the aforementioned benefits, I believe that
this
 idea brings about more drawbacks. Everyone knows raising children requires a lot of
money
 and time, and it is not an option without any future plan. So, if
government
 send aid
money
 to support peoples to have
baby
, the birth rate may increase dramatically.
This
 in turn ricing
government
 burden and is not fair to those
people
 who decide to not brith. To illustrate,
government
 spending will enhance as the number of new
parents
 increase, and
people
 who live in the same community are responsible for the
money
 because anyone needs to pay tax. Under
this
 line of thinking,
although
 monetary support can let
parents
 take
care
 of their children, I still believe the drawbacks that it gives extra pressure on the
government
 and others are more negative.
