Book excerpt: I put forth and evaluate three pathways through which aspects of maternal employment may affect children's lives. I explore the links between: (1) mothers' occupational experiences and the generation of familial social capital within the home; (2) maternal income and family spending on education-related goods and services for children; and (3) mothers' labor content and labor time and children's participation in cultural and educational activities. In investigating these three linkages I move past much of the existing research to show how the occupational experiences mothers encounter in the labor force condition the effects of maternal employment on children's lives. Specifically, three main findings emerge. First, mothers employed in high-complexity occupations generate greater amounts of social capital than mothers who are employed in low-complexity occupations. Second, spending on children's education increases as mothers' share of the total family income increases. Finally, mothers' labor content exerts a positive effect on children's participation in cultural and educational activities, outweighing the negative effect of maternal work hours on children's cultural and educational participation. Taken together these results demonstrate that in the presence of specific employment experiences, maternal employment may exert a net positive effect on children's lives. In light of these findings I argue that present concerns about the potentially negative effects of maternal employment for children may be overstated. I conclude by discussing the theoretical implications of my findings for the existing literatures on maternal employment, gender stratification, and educational attainment and by offering suggestions for future research concerned with the processes through which maternal employment may affect children's lives.

Book excerpt: "The calculus for mothers between working and staying at home varies across U.S. states. Lower costs and longer school days tend to help mothers return to work after giving birth.

Download or read book Maternal Employment and Child Health written by Yana van der Meulen Rodgers and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As women's labor force participation has risen around the globe, scholarly and policy discourse on the ramifications of this employment growth has intensified. This book explores the links between maternal employment and child health using an international perspective that is grounded in economic theory and rigorous empirical methods. Women's labor-market activity affects child health largely because their paid work raises household income, which strengthens families' abilities to finance healthcare needs and nutritious food; however, time away from children could counteract some of the benefits of higher socioeconomic status that spring from maternal employment. New evidence based on data from nine South and Southeast Asian countries illuminates the potential tradeoff between the benefits and challenges families contend with in the face of women's labor-market activity. This book provides new, original evidence on links between maternal employment and children's health using data associated with three indicators of children's nutritional status: birth size, stunting, and wasting. Results support the implementation and enforcement of policy interventions that bolster women's advancement in the labor market and reduce undernutrition among children. Scholars, students, policymakers and all those with an interest in nutritional science, gender, economics of the family, or development economies will find the methodology and original results expounded here both useful and informative.

This book was released on 2010-08-24 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using data from the first 2 phases of the NICHD Study of Early Child Care, we examine the links between maternal employment in the first 12 months of life and cognitive, social, and emotional outcomes for children at age 3, at age 4.5, and in first grade. Drawing on theory and prior research from developmental psychology as well as economics and sociology, we address 3 main questions. First, what associations exist between 1st year maternal employment and cognitive, social, and emotional outcomes for children in the first seven years of life? Second, to what extent do any such associations vary by the child's gender and temperament or the mother's occupation? Third, to what extent do mother's earnings, the home environment (maternal depressive symptoms, sensitivity, and HOME scores), and the type and quality of child care mediate or offset any associations between 1st-year employment and child outcomes, and what is the net effect of 1st-year maternal employment once these factors are taken into account? We compare families in which mothers worked full time (55%), part time (23%), or did not work (22%) in the first year. Our main results pertain to non-Hispanic White children (N = 900) although we also carry out some analyses for a small sample of African-American children (N = 113). Our findings provide new insight as to the net effects of 1st-year maternal employment as well as the potential pathways through which associations between 1st-year maternal employment and later child outcomes, where present, come about. Our structural equation modeling results indicate that, on average, the associations between 1st-year maternal employment and later cognitive, social, and emotional outcomes are neutral because negative effects, where present, are offset by positive effects. These results confirm that maternal employment in the 1st year of life may confer both advantages and disadvantages and that for the average non-Hispanic White child those effects balance each other.
