Maternal Employment and the Young Child Ph.D. Dissertation, Columbia University, 1994 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Census of Population; Child Care; Childbearing; Children, Behavioral Development; High School Completion/Graduates; Labor Force Participation; Maternal Employment; Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT); Poverty The dramatic increase in the labor force participation rates of women with young children has become a new social reality impacting on childrearing and parenting arrangements. This study investigates the crossover effects of a mother's employment situation on her young child during the first, second and third year of the child's life. This study not only investigates maternal employment from the traditional perspective of the potential negative effects on the child as a result of coping with a separation from mother, but includes a broader investigation of how the various aspects of a working mother's employment situation affect subsequent development, measured when the child is four to six years old. |
