Master Minds: Ohioans' Research May One Day Change The World Plain Dealer, September 3, 1995; Pg. 8 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Plain Dealer Publishing Co. Keyword(s): Child Development; Maternal Employment Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This article reports on Parcel and Menaghan's study "Parents' Jobs and Children's Lives," which analyzes the effect of parental employment on child development. The study, which utilizes NLSY79 and Children of the NLSY79 data, found that "a combination of wage level, work hours and job complexity is what determines whether children are helped or hindered by their parents' occupations." Also, the researchers discovered that a mother staying at home only benefits her child if the job she returns to is of a low-skill level. Mothers who stay home during the first three years but then return to a challenging job were found to have children suffering from more adverse effects. |
