Today, many mothers take care of the family and do not go to work. Some people believe that the government should pay them their salaries. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

after their maternity period leave their careers to nurture their children and

families

. It is often argued that they should be paid remuneration by the government. In my opinion, I disagree with the statement and

this

essay below shall explain the reasons for my disagreement.

Firstly

, the decision of

to take care of their

families

is not enforced by the authorities. In most

cases, women have to take

such

decisions because of a lack of support from the family. People nowadays prefer personal space and

hence

the trend of the nuclear family is increasing.

This

has resulted in a lack of care and support for children which has led women to give up their careers.

In contrast

, policies related to child care or flexible working hours for female workers with children should be formulated to encourage

mothers

to work which would foster both the economy of the country as a whole and her family as well.

In addition

, paying allowances to

mothers

could be a huge financial burden to the nation. The authorities may have to increase the tax rate applicable to the individuals to cover these financial burdens.

For example

, the allowances paid to senior citizens are paid from the social security fund raised through the contribution of those citizens themselves.

However

, in the case of

it will be a burden to the government as they have not contributed anything to the revenue of the country.

Moreover

, providing salaries to non-working

mothers

will encourage them to leave their work and start looking after their kids.

This

would destruct the enthusiasm of those potential women leading to a low economy of the state. In conclusion, I believe that government should not pay housewives because the decision is solely made by the

families

and huge funds would be required if allowances are to be paid. Rather than

this

, policy to encourage their participation in income-earning activities should be implemented by taking their concern about

families

into consideration.
