Raw Normal View History

2023-09-28 14:46:10 +00:00
abstract: 'Given increasing maternal labour-market participation in many European
countries, there is an ongoing scientific and public debate on the
potential consequences for children''s development. Previous research has
used both cross-sectional measures of maternal employment at a
particular age of the child and measures capturing maternal employment
history. Whereas the former approach cannot capture the cumulative
impact of maternal employment on developmental outcomes, studies
following the second approach have so far not accounted for the
possibility that mothers may repeatedly change their labour-force
participation in response to their children''s development or other
dynamic context factors that are themselves affecting developmental
outcomes.
The present study combines statistical techniques that can account for
time-varying confounders with cumulative measurement of maternal
employment to investigate its link with children''s behavioural problems
around age eight. In addition, our study explores whether the effect of
maternal employment history differs by mothers'' education. Using data
from the Growing Up in Scotland study, we find that children''s
behavioural problems around age eight are the less pronounced the more
years their mothers have worked full-time or part-time. However, these
associations reduced in size once we adjusted for potential confounders
and they do not significantly differ between mothers with and without a
tertiary degree. These results suggest that the association between
maternal employment history and behavioural problems around age eight is
mostly driven by confounding factors such as maternal education, child
health and socio-economic status.'
