“…Earlier theorizing about work and family linkages assumed a negative relationship between maternal employment and child well-being based primarily on the premise that work outside the home might cause mothers to neglect the medical needs of their children (Coreil et al, 1998). The positive relationship in our sample, that is, mothers who have greater labor force participation have healthier children, forces us to consider the direction and the nature of the relationship.…”

“…A large body of research suggests that maternal employment has no direct impact on child well-being and no deleterious consequences for child development (Chilman, 1993;Coreil, Wilson, Wood, & Liller, 1998;Goldberg & Esterbrooks, 1988;Gottfried & Gottfried, 1988;Greenstein, 1995;Hoffman, 1980;Lerner & Galambos, 1991;Moen, 1992;Pett, Vaughan-Cole, & Wampold, 1994;Secret, 1994;Spitz, 1991). Rather, the effects of parental work status on children's lives are mediated by parental characteristics, family structure, workplace conditions, and community resources (McCartney & Rosenthal, 1991;Otto & Atkinson, 1994;Parcel & Menaghan, 1994).…”

This study investigated the relationship between maternal labor force participation and the general health and school performance of school-age children in public assistance families. Data were obtained from face-to-face interviews with 97 mothers drawn from a random sample of public assistance recipients in one community. Using a measure of maternal labor force participation over the course of several years, logistic regression analysis revealed positive, but complex, relationships. Children whose mothers had recent, current, or long-term employment were in better health than children whose mothers had been unemployed for more than 2 years. Children's school performance was positively associated with either long-term unemployment or long-term employment, suggesting that the stability of maternal labor force participation, rather than work status per se, was an important factor. The study maintains a needed focus on child outcomes and provides an important conceptualization of maternal labor force participation for use in future welfare reform studies.Keywords: child well-being; maternal employment and welfare; child well-being and welfare; maternal employment and child well-being 520

“…In the literature, Coreil et al, reported that working mothers did not contribute positively to the fall rates of children and even stated that the mother's study contributed to preventive practices from accidents. 16 Author found that the children whose mothers were working had less trauma due to falls and sports activities (58% and 26.3%). This result, which is consistent with the literature, is thought to be due to the fact that working mothers inform and warn more about preventive and protective measures especially from school-age children.…”

et al. 2019

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of mother working status and siblings on school-age child trauma admitted to the emergency department and to investigate school-age traumas.Methods: This prospective study was conducted with the approval of the ethics committee in the emergency department of a training and research hospital. All demographic data of the school-aged children (66 months-18 years) who applied to the emergency department, the location of the trauma, the mechanism of occurrence, the mother's working status, the presence and number of siblings, the duration of stay in the emergency department, clinical outcome and hospital service cost were recorded.Results: A total of 794 children were included in the study. 263(33.1%) were girls and 531(66.9%) were boys. Soft tissue trauma was the most common (94.3%). The place of the trauma was 62.7% out of school and 37.3% in school. When mother working conditions were analyzed, it was seen that 34.2% did not work. 97.1% of the children had one or more siblings. The most common trauma mechanism (65.6%) was collision and the second (60.6%) was falls. 99.1% of the patients were discharged. The length of stay in the emergency department of the Grade-schooler age group was higher than the Teen age group (p: 0,000). The length of stay in emergency department was higher in patients without siblings (p: 0.017). It was observed that those whose mothers did not work remained in the emergency room longer (p: 0,000). It was found that the ones whose mothers did not work mostly came with trauma mechanism as a result of falling (65.4%) (p: 0.044).Conclusions: Providing education for protection from accidents in schools and out of school to all people, especially children, parents and teachers, and making safe playgrounds with solid floors will minimize accident and injury rates and severity levels.
