Argumentative Essay: Woman should never give up their job after giving birth by Haiqal Rosli

            Do you really think that woman should quit job after their first delivery? Every woman gives birth after they married, including working women. So should they just give up their job after having children? I really think that woman shouldn’t quit job just after first delivery. The next three paragraphs will elaborate about the effects of this issue on the nation’s birth rate and the family happiness also the commitment of a working mother.

             The country’s birth rate would be affected because of this issue. Working women who refused to have children because of their career would reduce the birth rate for the country. This would result on negative affects because the country will experience lack of labourer for industrial purpose in the future. Lack of local labourer will make us relay on foreign labourer. Low birth rate also would result on slow population growth. When the population is too low compared to the resources, the efficiency of managing the resources will become low and the economy growth will become slow.

            Moreover, this issue also will affect the happiness in a family. Everyone dreams to have a loving family whom they will share their life with. But if women need to choose between her career and having children, this would give bad affect to the family happiness. If the husband really wanted to have children, the wife will face a great dilemma. Having children will guarantee a family happiness. Without them, a family will appear incomplete. Like a big piece of life has been taken away. This eventually will make woman become stressed and unhappy with her life. So a woman shouldn’t choose between her career and her family because she deserves both.

A working mother has two commitments. One is for work and one is for her family. It is normal that everyone has more than one commitment in their life. So why a woman should choose between work and having a family? Statistic shows that majority women in Malaysia are working mothers but still they could maintain their career and be a good mother to their children. Many successful women today are a mother. However, a housewife will have plenty of time with her children compared to a woman with a career. Woman with career need to divides her attention, while a housewife doesn’t have to do that. A housewife will give her full attention to her family thus keeping her family happy.

So as a conclusion, there are many cons than pros if all the women should choose between her career and family. I really think that women should have both of them because they really deserve it. I hope that one day women could find a better way to live and work without sacrificing either one.
