Physical and Cognitive Development in Children of Low-Income Mothers Working in the Child's Early Years
Cherry, Flora F.; Eaton, Ethel L.
Child Development, 48, 1, 158-166, Mar 77
Children of 200 low-income families were studied to determine possible deleterious outcomes due to maternal employment in the child's first 3 years of life. When 8-year follow-up data were controlled for maternal variables, 30 differences in outcomes were found, 27 of which favored children of workers. (Author/JMB)
