Q. In most of the societies, the role of mother and father differs. What are the causes of this difference? What will be the parental roles in future?

It is true that parents play an essential role for the development of their children. Both father and mother are equally responsible for the physical, mental and emotional development of the child. But still, most societies have different ways of thinking that their roles are different. Therefore, here I would like to discuss the reasons for these differences.

In most societies, especially in remote areas and villages, people believe that the role of mothers is only to give birth to a child and to oversee his studies, food and household chores, and the father is the one who brings money for bread and butter and no need to do anything with childcare. Because of this, women are deprived of work and even education. The first and foremost reason for these differences is that the people are illiterate and 62% of people are still below the poverty line. Secondly, I believe that in these old-fashioned societies people have no family planning, high fertility, so women are forced to stay at home and feed their children. And the whole burden of child’s development falls on her shoulders, and men have nothing to do except working and earning money. If women go out and work, then older people are skeptical and scold them for their limitations.

However, the scenario will change in the future. We live in an era of globalization and westernization in the 21st century. We are influenced by western culture. Nowadays people are educated, literate, knowledgeable and broad-minded. Parents understand their responsibility and work equally for the holistic development of the child and conditions will improve significantly in the future. Parents will plan things for a bright and brilliant future for their children. And they will be united and the child will not be deprived of his fathers love. Both will work so that they can save for their child in future and at present things are the same in urban areas.

To conclude, the modern society is witness to the changing role of men and women due to gender equality. They have equal opportunities to handle childcare responsibilities. There is a power in unity so we all should stand together to make those societies aware and make an egalitarian society to make our children better person in future.
