abstract: 'As female labor force participation increases globally, the relationship
between maternal employment and children''s development remains unclear.
Using data from the India Human Development Survey (2005), we
investigate the link between maternal employment and children''s
arithmetic and reading achievement. We develop a work pattern typology
that goes beyond standard measures of employment and captures work
intensity and its compatibility with child-rearing in a transitional
economy. We find that the relationship between maternal employment and
children''s outcomes is not unidimensional. For example, children of
self-employed mothers are not disadvantaged compared to those with
stay-at-home mothers, but maternal employment in salaried jobs or wage
work outside the home is negatively associated with cognitive skills in
children. However, this negative association is reversed at higher
levels of maternal education, suggesting greater access to resources and
flexibility associated with better jobs mitigate the negative aspects of
maternal employment posed by time constraints. Additionally, maternal
employment is associated with maternal involvement in schoolwork and
financial investment in academic activities, providing evidence that
both time and resources devoted to children''s education are significant.'
