The position of women in society has changed markedly in the last twenty years. Many of the problems young people now experience, such as juvenile delinquency, arise from the fact that many married women now work and are not at home to care for their children. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion.
Since the beginning of mankind, there is evidence that men used to find food for the family while women took concern for the offspring. Therefore, through evolution, males got strong enough to fight, and face different kinds of situations while females became emotionally strong enough to tackle family problems and take concern for offspring. Hence, most people believe that taking care of children and household situations is entirely up to women. But the world has changed so fast over the last two decades and females have started to earn like males. Thus, if a baby of a working mom starts to struggle with life, the public does not hesitate to blame the mother for that. However, I strongly disagree with the fact that babies are entirely women’s responsibility. In this essay, I will discuss further about my opinion.

From my perspective, I believe that this phenomenon can bring a range of advantages that outweigh the downsides.
