This article discusses the conflict between parental employment and child development from the perspective of the father's employment. Toby Parcel and Elizabeth Menaghan's study of the effects of paternal employment is referenced. Analyzing NLSY79 data, Parcel and Menaghan discovered that children whose fathers routinely worked more than 40 hours a week were less verbal and that children whose fathers worked less than full-time tended to have more behavior problems.
