Impact of Motherhood on the Career Patterns of Working Women: Differences in the Life Histories and Career Status of Mothers and Women Without Children Presented: Boston, MA, American Educational Research Association, 1980 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: American Educational Research Association Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Children; Job Satisfaction; Mobility; Mothers; Schooling; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Statistical analyses presented here do not contradict the suggestions of theorists in vocational development that the employed mother has many obstacles to surmount as her career develops. That she is more likely to come from lower levels of the socioeconomic ladder and to have completed fewer years of education, coupled with her availability to work only part-time, in some sense accounts for her having to fill lower status jobs. It would seem that such circumstances do not foster upward mobility and, indeed, perhaps perpetuate the past socioeconomic conditions of these women. However, in spite of these influences, these analyses suggest that personal attitudes about childrearing differ significantly between employed mothers and working women who do not have children. |
