Pros and Cons of more woman working

It has always been the man's responsibility to support the family financially as he is the head of the family. However, there is now a trend happening, which is more woman are working. This results in rise of families having both parents working.

This has some advantages and disadvantages. I will first talk about its advantages. With both parents working, this will help the family a lot in terms of finance (more income means better ability to will deal with expenses). Therefore, people will be more willing to spend on a good (positive impact on economy). Also, it allows the parents to give their children the best they can give (better education, character development, talent), no matter how expensive it is.

Next, I will talk about its disadvantages. This may cause a rise in divorce rate because there is lack of communication between the married couple (lesser time spent together due to working hours). Also, children may lose their sense of belonging as well as security to the family because they are unable to spend time and share troubles with their parents. With that, children would develop a form of thinking that their parents do not care about them and so they became more rebellious (lack guidance and seek advice from peers). Due to a lack of communication and interaction between the parents as well as the children, it results in a broken family (divorce).

In my opinion, an united family is far more important than any other things. A family is supposed to provide psychological support, economic support and sense of security for its family members. It is important because everyone needs love and care. If that is fulfilled, people will then feel meaningful and motivated to live his or her life to the fullest.
