abstract: 'Two contrasting hypotheses have been presented to predict women''s health
variations. The multiple burden hypothesis predicts that combining a
paid job, being married, and having children is likely to be detrimental
to women''s health. The multiple attachment hypothesis predicts that
multiple roles provide attachment to the community. which is likely to
be beneficial to women''s health. These hypotheses are examined in
Britain and Finland, which hive different patterns of women''s employment
participation. Lone mothers form a critical case, since they have fewer
attachments and greater burdens, and therefore are expected to have
poorer health. The socioeconomic position of lone mothers differs in
Britain and Finland, but in both societies they are likely to have fewer
attachments. We assess the extent to which health variations between
women with different family and parental role combinations are because
of the differences in their socioeconomic status and material
circumstances. Comparable surveys from Britain and Finland from 1994
were used. Perceived general health and limiting long-standing illness
were analysed for working age women (20-49 years) by family type and
employment status, as well as other socioeconomic variables. In both
countries, women living in two parent families and having children had
better health than women living in other family types or on their own.
Lone mothers form a disadvantaged group and showed overall worse health
in both countries. Adjusting for employment status, education and
household income weakened the association between family type and poor
health. The findings are broadly in accordance with the multiple
attachment hypothesis. Despite the more generous welfare state and high
full-time employment among Finnish women, single lone mothers report
poorer health than other women in Finland as well as in Britain.
However, in Britain the disadvantaged social position of lone mothers
accounts for a greater proportion of their poor health than in Finland.
