Reaction Article #5

My Reactions:
According to Madeline Chambers in "Working women hold key to world prosperity," women are facing challenge of looking after both sides of childcare and their work. Governments hope to encourage women to have children by setting tax system and offering several benefits.
Before the Middle-Ages, women were in the low position of the society. They were restricted by deep-rooted concept which believed that men were the only breadwinner in a family and women had no right to disobey something unfair. In this case, lot of women suffered a great deal in those days. But, women's position has risen gradually since 1945. The world started to care about women's right, they have the right to be educated, to vote, to work, to express their opinion and to choose their own marriage.
Nowadays, women are much stronger than before. It is because they are well educated. They are tough and will fight for their right. However, I totally agree with what the writer says, if governments want to increase the labor force in their own countries, they suppose to put women into work in order to encourage economic development and raising low birth rates. In my opinion, to achieve these, not only offer financial incentives and nursery places, but also instill the concept of generate encouraging to next generation.
