71 Responsibility of Taking Care of Children In Canada, where the fertility rate is low, some experts say the solutions that best tackle economic concerns are through supportive government policies. “Some of the responsibility of taking care of children needs to be taken off women’s shoulders,” said Marina Adshade, an economics professor at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Adshade said policies that require or encourage more men to take parental leave, more flexibility for both women and men at work, and affordable child care would all make a big difference. “It’s just simply not going to work if you’re just repeatedly telling women that they have to make sacrifices for the greater good,” she said. For a generation of young people, the choice not to have children is rooted in a lack of policies that support future generations. In 2019, Emma Lim, a fourth-year student at McGill University in Montreal, launched a movement called #NoFutureNoChildren — a pledge not to have children until the Canadian government takes serious steps to fight climate change. So far, she’s sticking to it, saying her reluctance isn’t limited to climate change policies. “We have a cost-of-housing crisis. We don’t have a very strong financial future. When you add climate change ... it just doesn’t look like a promising world,” Lim said. This echoes the UNFPA report, which states that family planning without “improving the low status of women and girls around the world will likely have only a limited impact on broader economic and social development.” parental leave flexibility affordable make sacrifices reluctance Pattern of Organization This passage follows Problem and Solution and Cause and Effect patterns of organization.
