Undoubtedly, bringing up children is quite a hard job for parents. Some people might think that raising children is much more convenient than before, while others think it is still hard work. Both sides may have their own reasons to support their views. If I were asked to choose one, I would say that it has been easier than before.
To begin with, in contrast to the past, since a medical technology and its system significantly improved, children are able to receive treatment easily. For instance, I will give my parents to elucidate my point. Since there are only a few medical centers around their home and even there were hospitals, their did not serve proper treatment. Therefore, when they had any ill or got injured, they had to just stay home and endure all day long. However, in these days, since there are plenty of hospitals, people can go to medical centers whenever they want to check conditions of their children, which eventually makes it helpful to take care of their children.
Secondly, there are some substantial enhancement on welfare system. To be specific, there are numerous financial support from government and other social organizations to encourage parents. Certainly, since taking care of a child costs a lot, it burdened parents who have some monetary problems. In comparison to the past, it has been considerably alleviated by financial aids from various institutions. My sister is not that affluent, but thanks to the government's assistance, she could bring up her children without huge difficulties. There were not only financial support, but also a childcare system, which helps her leave children while she was working.
All things considered, I strongly believe that raising children nowadays is much easier than before.for the reason I have mentioned.
