DEBATECLOPEDIA : THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PAY HOUSE WIFE AND HOUSE HUSBANDS FOR THEIR WORK

Have you ever thought about being a housekeeper, hairdresser, supervisor, manager or even a teacher at the same time for 24 hours? without any salary given to you?  This occupation probably is the hardest occupation in the world. Somehow it doesn't mean that none of us has ever done it before. In general, a mother, a father or to be frank, parents have become a manager, supervisor, hairdresser and housekeeper at the same time for 24 hours without any penny given to them. Furthermore, being a housewife or househusband is in line with this condition. A housewife/husband is a type of person who stays at home and in charge of the household, such as raising the children, or doing the house core, sweeping the floor, vacuuming the carpet or even taking out the trash. These house core jobs are not simple things, In general, housewife/husband keep on doing it over and over again. This can be compared with an employed baby-sitter or housekeeper. Both housewife/husband and employed housekeeper do exactly the same activities and duty, but in fact the jobs of housewife/husband have never turned into money. To be fair, being a housewife/husband is unlike The Real Housewife- television series. (In a TV series, the actors/actress get money, and eventually some of them become rich). Being a housewife/husband is not an easy job, so that the government should pay housewife/husband for their work.


The issue of paying housewife/husband is not a new case. In 2014, a Italian association proposed to the government to pay the housewife for their job. This issues is not a simple issue. In paying housewife/husband can bring a betterment in many aspects, such as minimizing the unjustified portrayal of housewife.husband and housekeeper,  financial capability, self-esteem, even lowering the number of domestic abuse. It's an urgent situation to help the housewife/husband to be respected by all layer of society, or even to be respected by their own family member. It also bring a significant impact to the family member.

First,the unjustified portrayal of housewife/husband and housekeeper. Housewife/husband and employed housekeeper have the same job desks and responsibility. Somehow being a housewife/husband is quite similar with being a housekeeper and nanny at the same time. Even nanny and housekeeper have their own standard of salary. On the other hand, housewife/husband don't have it. The different is only laying on the fact that housewife/husband is the parents of their children and it's their destiny to take care of their children without any money given to them. There is a portrayal in the society that it's a fate of housewife/husband to stay at home and do the chores, This condition shows the unjustified perspective on the exact same jobs and working hours of housewife/husband and housekeeper. It's more than just a matter of parents love. it's also a matter of respecting and the housewife/husband work. by giving the money to the housewife/husband shows that there is a balance situation or a balance definition on working at home 24 hours a day is legitimate to be done by everyone.

second, financial capability and domestic violence.
"You belong to me and you are the possession of mine". There is a saying that a wife/husband is the possession of one partner. It will be complicated if a wife is a stay at home mom and don't have any independent money. vice versa. How is that so?  In current situation, a housewife/husband who doesn't have any jobs only depends on the working husbands/wife. This condition may lead to underestimating the partners just because the stay at home. The housewife/husband depends so much on the working party in terms of financial capability, such as buying food, school tuition, or even buying candy from a small candy store. This situation can be very frustrating. The case of domestic violence may appear because of this demand. The most complex part is in being a househusband, especially in patriarchy society. In this condition, the husband will be considered as useless and powerless. The burden will increase on both sides of marriage. Paying the housewife/husband are gonna solve this problems because housewife/husband will not depend their life so much to the working partner. At least, this condition will benefit them so that housewife/ husband are able to buy candies to their children by using their own money.

based on this condition, we need to pay the housewife/husband for the betterment of life.
