IELTS BOOK 2-TEST 4-WRITNG TASK 2

The position of women in society has changed markedly in the last century 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.

It is easy to find out that the women’s society has undergone dramatic change in the past twenty years but I do not believe that it can be the crucial cause that can increase the problem of young people.

It is common for young women to go to work after leaving school and relying totally on the parents financial supports becomes no longer a favorite option among young girls. Even though after getting married and having children, women continue their works because a range of reasons. The inflation had made it compulsory for married mothers to get a suitable job and expenses of the daily routine cannot be met easily without the job of the mother. Moreover, mothers do job for the sake of better education and training of their children.

I do not think that the increase number of working mother can result in the increase number of young people who have juvenile delinquency related problems but actually the positive effect of higher household income brought about by the mother returning to work went some way to compensate for the negative effect of reduced contact with their children. For many women the choices about working or not working are entirely financially-particularly on the question about whether to work full time or part-time. There are undoubtedly many women who would prefer not to work or to work part- time but the options are not simply there for them. Therefore parents are increasingly finding creative ways to be with their children more, such as shift parenting.
