Maternal employment and child health
global issues and policy solutions
by Yana van der Meulen Rodgers
As women's labor force participation has risen around the globe, scholarly and policy discourse on the ramifications of this employment growth has intensified. This book explores the links between maternal employment and child health using an international perspective that is grounded in economic theory and rigorous empirical methods. Women's labor-market activity affects child health largely because their paid work raises household income, which strengthens families' abilities to finance health care needs and nutritious food; however, time away from children could counteract some of the benefit.
