Ask Dr. Jana Researching Working vs. Stay-At-Home Moms

QUESTION


Dear Dr. Jana, I am looking for information about studies done on working moms vs. at home moms. Any articles, websites, or books would be helpful. This is for a paper I'm doing in school. — Laureen in MA

ANSWER	March 12, 2001


Dear Laureen, A good starting point would be to check out a book by Ellen Galinsky - the cofounder and president of the non-profit center called the Families and Work Institute. The book is called Ask The Children: What America's Children Really Think About Working Parents. In addition to offering a look at the views children have about their working mothers as compared to those who stay at home, the book also provides a wealth of more general information and statistics regarding work and family life. — by Laura Jana, M.D., F.A.A.P.
