Young Mothers' Time Spent at Work and Time Spent Caring for Children Journal of Family and Economic Issues 20,1 (March 1999): 61-84. Also: http://www.springerlink.com/content/h367846g48770465/ Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Plenum Publishing Corporation Keyword(s): Child Care; Time Use; Work Hours/Schedule Investigated the association between the time a mother spends at work and in different child care activities, using data from 1,248 female participants in the 1981 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) who had children younger than 6 yrs old at the time of the study. The mothers who worked on the index day spent almost one hour less time in physical care, one-half hour less time in interactive care, and over two hours less time in passive supervision of their children. The effects of a set of predictors on time use at work, time use in physical care, interactive care, and passive supervision of children were estimated using a covariance structure model. When the effects of these predictors were controlled, the number of hours at work predicted: (1) a small reduction in time spent in interactive care, and (2) larger reductions in time spent in physical care and passive supervision.
