SHOULD MOTHERS STAY AT HOME AND LOOKING AFTER CHILDREN

Whether or not working mothers benefits society is still in dispute. Some people argue that working mothers have negative effects on society, whereas others contend that it brings advantages to society. In this essay, I would put forwards benefits of allowing mothers to work in paid employment.


For a start, working mothers benefits society by enhancing the quality of family, which is one component of society. The reason is that by working mothers can help husband in providing and fulfilling their family needs which can be used so as to improve their quality of life by improving their health and education. For example, improving health and knowledge follows from the fact that they can buy healthy food and books. Indeed, if people are healthy and well read, the society will develop faster.


Furthermore, mothers working in paid employment contribute in reducing the number of social problems by solving the main cause which is economic shortages. Mothers help to solve the main cause by providing and fulfilling family’s needs using income that they earn. When all needs can be met, people do not need to beg in the street or steal so social problems will be reduced. Another point, which is also essential, is that people living in areas with many social problems often do not feel safe because there is no guaranteed social security. As a consequence of reducing the number of social problems, people will feel safe and free to interact in their community in society.


It can be concluded that working mothers benefits society in terms of improving family’s quality and reducing the number of social problems. Thus, women should be allowed to work.
