In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work.Some people regard this as completely wrong while others consider it as a valuable work experience. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Recently, more teenagers

themselves in employments that yield remunerations, while some of the population are of the opinion that it adds up as appreciable work experience, others view it as totally bad. I,

however

, will clarify both views and state my stance.

financial independence.

This

means that children will no longer have to rely solely on their parents or guardians for petty things as they will be able to afford

reducing financial burdens and commitments

as university funding on their parents.

that in a case whereby they go back to complete their studies, on returning they already have greater chances to be employed back to that company so they can move easily up the hierarchy ladder therein.

For example

that upon graduation, they will be employed and by so doing they have an edge over counterparts who were not previously employed.

On the other hand

, paid employment on adolescents could make them frivolous in their spending.

This

is because unlimited access to money can trigger impulse buying

hence

impaired saving culture, As an instance, a survey carried out in a popular university showed that majority of those students that drive the luxury cars are not those from wealthy backgrounds

instead

those that worked at younger ages while growing up.

Secondly

can make them under-perform in their education. Most times, they have to work while studying and

this

could lead to reduced attention span in matters relating to their studies and

subsequently

failure as the act of successful multitasking is a very technical one and could lead to misplaced priorities if not failure

one or more of the tasks.

In conclusion, the argument of whether children should be employed is valid. It is advisable because it gives the child monetary breakthrough as well as quick progression in career but in my own opinion, it should not be encouraged because it gives room to reckless spending and educational failure. To prevent these, the government can increase child benefits globally.
