Most Modern Families have both parents working and as a result children spend less time with their parents What is the reason for this? What problems can this cause?

With the everyday increasing prices of the basic daily commodities, increase in educational
fees
, accommodation costs, and healthcare costs in many families both
parents
have to
work
just to meet the growing demands.
This
at times can harm
children
, the reasons of which will be substantiated in
this
essay. Due to overpopulation, there is a growing demand for housing, which results in many families being charged exorbitant amounts for a basic one-bedroom apartment.
In addition
to
this
, the growing costs of educating a child, their uniforms other school-related
fees
is having both
parents
take up
work
to meet these demands.
Furthermore
, many colleges require huge amounts as 'donations'
in addition
to
fees
.
For example
, my cousin who is looking to study in Bangalore requires to pay a donation of INR. 300000/-,
in addition
to his monthly
fees
.
This
has forced both his
parents
to take up
work
, with his father working a part-time job on the weekends just to meet
this
requirement.
However
, the problem
this
can cause is that there will be a disconnect between a family, as the
parents
are not available when the
children
come from school, and the
children
not being awake when the
parents
finally
come home from
work
. Because of
this
,
children
may seek solace in other means,
such
as continuous television watching, online gaming, and in the worst of cases involving themselves in unlawful activities. In conclusion,
although
this
is a problem every family faces it is something they should ask themselves. Whether working all day is important or is the all-round development of their child important.
