It's true that women’s role in society has changed largely during the past decade and as a result we see more independent, occupied and busy women these days. A lot of children are now being raised in day care centers or nurseries having both parents engaged in full time jobs. Some think that this may be the cause for the increase in violence and crimes in society. This could be true partially but there are several other prominent factors that contribute towards increasing delinquency in youth.
It is so vital that women should work in order to maintain an acceptable living standard in a family and thus she may not be able to attend full time on her children’s activities. But there are ways to increase the quality time spent together for a family and these are being practiced by a lot of educated parents. Having failed to do this and maintain a work life balance could surely affect the youngsters mental development. So there is high chance that these children may become vandals later on.
According to latest researches, there are other factors which cause delinquency such as family conflicts, misuse or abuse of children and drug usage of school children. So these factors contribute more towards a child’s psychological development irrespective of whether their mother is working or not. When the parents constantly fight, the children become more vulnerable towards drug and alcohol. And this may lead them to commit crimes to fund their dugs or they may behave violently as a result of the inappropriate exposure.
Thus, I think it’s both parents responsibility to raise children with good care. And schools, religious centers and government should all take the responsibility for the fate of the youth today and working mothers, alone, cannot be blamed for this matter.
