van Wel, Frits; Knijn, Trudie

Journal of Marriage and Family, v63 n3 p804-15 Aug 2001

Presents a study of 1,049 Dutch single mothers on welfare. Using LISREL, a conceptual model is examined for effects of past and current circumstances of mothers on labor orientation and steps toward employment. A mother's motivation to work is related to care ethos as opposed to work ethos and to problems she anticipates in combining care and work. (BF)
