For too long, the question has been, “Should mothers work for pay or not?” But the
debate over maternal employment, and whether it's “good” or “bad,” should be broadened
to encompass many issues, including the role of economics in a mother's decision to
work, the availability of “child-friendly” policies in the workplace and at home,
the quality and nature of child care or after-school programs, and the involvement
of both parents in parenting tasks. This paper explores factors that can help full-time
employed mothers and non employed mothers address issues of availability to, or potential
over-investment with, their children. |
