Letter to the Editor
Sample
Dear Sir,
I am writing in response to the
article in last Wednesday´s edition of your paper regarding the proposal of
increasing nursery provisions across the country to encourage women back into
the worklife after having a baby. I would like to comment on the points that
were raised.
First of all I would like to say
that I totally agree with the statement that providing greater nursery
provisions will allow women to return to work as soon as possible. Improvements
in childcare programmes will definitely contribute to this, and I think they
are a wonderful idea. As I see it women should be able to have children without
having to worry about losing their jobs, simply because it is their natural
right to do so.
Secondly, I would like to mention
that the fear some companies have that this pro-children policy will encourage
women to have too many children and therefore cause them serious economic
problems, is irrational. Women of these days are career-oriented and are likely
to choose to have just one or two children. Not having to worry about leaving
the company will just make them more committed to their work and more motivated
to contribute to the enterprise´s success.
I also would like to add some ideas
to your comments: "a greater nursery provision provides an ideal
opportunity to introduce a national programme of pre-school learning". I
think it is true that we do not have an adequate nursery programme, specially
for six-month babies and toddlers. We have seen education as a right for anyone
older than three years old without considering the younger population. I fully
expect to see a change in such an important aspect of education in our country.
To sum up, women do not need to risk
their careers when deciding to have a baby. It is the government´s job to
ensure that children are secure in their first years as well as to create an
appropriate national education programme and to encourage companies to provide
nursery facilities.
I look forward to hearing other readers´ views
on the subject.
Yours faithfully,
Gustavo Albarracín
