Give examples to prove that there are other important developmental goals other tgan income.
Answers
- If we get a job in far off place, before accepting it we would try to consider many facilities apart from income, such as, facilities of our income, working atmosphere or opportunity to learn.
- A job may give us less pay but offer us regular employment that enhances our sense of security and freedom.
- If women are engaged in paid work, their dignity in the household and society increases. However, it is also the case that if there is respect for women there would be more sharing of house work and as greater acceptance of women working outside.
A safe and secure environment may allow more women to take up a variety of jobs or ensure that we get unadulterated medicines, unless we can afford to shift to a community that already has all these things. Money may also not be able to protect us from infectious diseases, unless the whole community takes preventive measures.
