Most countries in the world facing a decrease in newborn problems. Thus, the government and some enterprises encourage women to give birth by offering them various benefits including maternity leave after their babies are born. In this essay, I will depict my opinion on both the advantages and disadvantages of the given statements.
Firstly, maternity leave is important to workwomen due to their maternal duty and responsibility. Moreover, some women suffer both physically and mentally from giving birth. For example, many mothers have depression disorder after the baby’s birth, which is called baby blue. This disorder causes them to feel overthinking, and stressed and lose their daily interests including their career. The maternity leave will be an advantage for female workers because they can leave and focus on newborn babies and their mental health completely. Secondly, maternity leave can encourage female employees to give birth and still have a job because some employees have to resign from their jobs to take care of the babies.
On the other hand, some people think maternity leave will disadvantage the rest of the workers who did not give birth. For instance, some employees are afraid that they will have a workload because of women workers who take their maternity leave. I personally think, it is the responsibility of companies to manage the workflows of their employees. Some companies hire short-term contract workers or freelancers to work.
To sum up, I think the advantages of maternity leave are reasonable. Due to parenting duty and career responsibility. Female workers should have maternity leave to balance both two duties.
