In many countries women are allowed to take maternity leave from their jobs during the first months after the birth of their baby. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

#countries #women #maternity #jobs #first #months #birth #baby
Providing a holiday for women who have a baby is generally done all over the world. Sometimes, people discuss what brings advantages more than disadvantages.
However
, in my opinion, I believe that
maternity
 leave does more good than harm. On the one hand,
maternity
 leave definitely produces a negative influence on
companies
 and women. From the former,
maternity
 leave will impact the efficiency of
companies
 and organizations. Because they need to take care of their child and keep their rest, female employees are unable to efficiently finish their
work
 even if somebody will make
this
work
.
In addition
, if
companies
 have to provide
maternity
 leave to female workers,
this
 will lead to a terrible situation which is more discrimination aimed at females appearing in the
work
 market. The HR of
companies
 will consider hiring more male employees in order to avoid the problem of efficiency mentioned earlier.
On the other hand
, it is no doubt that
maternity
 leave for employees will make a great benefit.
Firstly
, females can gain better rest and recover. From pregnancy to giving birth to a child, it is extremely difficult and even full of danger for a woman.
As a result
, women should recover for several months after the birth of their baby rather than go back to
work
.
Secondly
,
maternity
 leave give the new baby the best care. Breastfeeding was proven that the best way to help the health of children.
Also
, the mother pays more attention than any family members or nurses so that child can healthily grow up. In conclusion,
maternity
 leave will bring more advantages, because the negative influence mentioned before can be effectively resolved and avoided. Specifically, governments make some policies to avoid discrimination in occupation. Meanwhile, modern technology,
such
 as smartphones, laptops, software and so on, can well solve the problem of working during
maternity
 leave.
Therefore
, I strongly think that
maternity
 leave makes a more positive influence.
