Mom At Home?
ØIf a mother of young children works to increase the standard of living, she may gain little net increase.
ØShe may end up with work both at home and the office.
ØDaycare means someone else raises the child and extra sickness (1-2 year-olds, especially).
Ø13 million children are in daycare in the US and 2/3 of mothers with children under 6 are working (Katha Pollitt, “Happy Mother’s Day,” The Nation, 5/28/01)
