Is it worthwhile to quit your high-paying job and go home to take care of your baby full time? Who is more suitable to go home and take care of the baby, man or woman?

Is it worthwhile to quit your well-paid job and bring your baby home? First of all, for more than 90% working families, it is impossible for both husband and wife to quit their jobs and go home to take care of their children, because bringing home the bacon requires wages from both sides. The domestic workplace does not have the economic conditions of "one person working to support the family" in the western workplace, nor does it have the workplace culture and family tradition. Most working families still rely on child care services and the way both elderly people take care of their children.

In recent years, due to the increasing difficulty and cost of raising babies, the trend that women gradually quit their jobs and go home to take care of babies has become increasingly obvious. With the development of market economy to a certain extent, China began to learn from the western workplace and family culture. There are two main factors: one is the high economic cost of bringing a baby. When the woman's salary is less than 3,000 yuan or 4,000 yuan, it is not enough to pay for the nanny. Women can only give up their careers and go home to take care of their babies. On the other hand, families pay more and more attention to the upbringing and education of children, who are the future of the family and deserve more investment.

Then, the phenomenon that a woman or a man quits his job and goes home to take care of the baby in society has triggered a big discussion about whether it is worthwhile to take care of the baby after resigning and who is more suitable for both men and women. If the direct and indirect economic losses are not worth it, then it can be said that it is worthwhile for both husband and wife, both men and women, to resign and go home to take care of the baby.

According to experts' calculations, the "consideration" paid by full-time mothers in one year is equivalent to 420,000 RMB. Women of childbearing age are not old enough. How many people can get an annual salary of 420 thousand? Men of the same age, with an annual salary of more than 420,000 yuan, are rare.

Therefore, in terms of economic value, it is worthwhile for both men and women to resign and go home to take care of their babies full-time. The question is, who wants to quit and go home to take care of the baby? In other words, who is more suitable to go home and take care of the baby? From the perspective of economics and sociology, it is more appropriate for men to resign and take care of their children under the same salary conditions.

There are six main reasons:

First, male career cycle is long. Men from 20 to 60 years old in career cycle is 40 years, and women in career cycle are at least 5 years less. If the influence of childbirth (assuming three children) is reduced for another five years, the career cycle of women is less than that of men 10 years. When a woman goes home to take care of her baby in the golden age of her career, it is basically equivalent to giving up her career path. Unless the man's economic foundation is strong enough to cover family life and make women feel at ease for a lifetime.

Second, the resignation of women is not conducive to re-employment. If a woman resigns and goes home to take care of her baby, it will be very difficult for her to give up her career and get re-employed at least until she is 35 years old after raising three children. She can only engage in general basic work, with a low monthly salary and no chance to turn over. Assuming that men return to the workplace at the age of 35, compared with career cycle, they can start again or even continue their previous career trajectory.

Third, women have better career prospects than men. Now there is a trend that women are strong and men are weak. Due to the development of internet and high technology, in the social division of labor, the occupations with high labor intensity are basically replaced by machinery, and the physical strength advantage of men is gradually weakening. On the contrary, the advantages of women's delicacy, sensibility, elegance and patience are gradually revealed. For example, the future society will pay more attention to soft work such as network, marketing, communication, management and service. Women have unique advantages, better career prospects, and may be better than their husbands.

Fourth, men need to receive family re-education. During the reproductive period under 35, women are better and more mature than men. For example, in recruitment, we find that girls are more mature, steady and intellectual than boys. In contrast, many male students are still boys. It is said that family is a university, so it is better to let men return to their families for a period of time and receive re-education, which is conducive to enhancing men's sense of responsibility and maturity.

Fifth, women are vulnerable to discrimination when they resign and go home. If a woman resigns and goes home to take care of her children, she will lose her economic foundation and her appearance and figure, which will lead men and their families to respect women. Women should not be allowed to sacrifice their careers, give up high-paying jobs, and be discriminated against in economy, image, culture and concept. There are also some men who cheat when a woman gives birth to a child, change their minds after raising the child, and let the woman be hurt again. Therefore, men require women to resign and go home, not only to undertake certain housework, but also to evaluate women's contribution according to the proportion of annual salary of 420 thousand, giving women enough respect. Assuming divorce, the height of women with children should be fully considered in the division of family property.

Sixth, the traditional family culture needs to be changed. When a man goes home to take care of his baby, many people think about the problem not from the perspective of economy and fitness, but from the perspective of face. Even if the woman is already a high-paid executive, she should force her wife to resign and go home to take care of the baby. The concept of stay-at-home dad is a bit embarrassing. The woman has the advantages of the woman, and the man has the advantages of the man, which varies from person to person and from family to family. Whether a stay-at-home mother is better than a stay-at-home father is not an ethical issue, nor an economic issue, but a social issue.
