本文评估了儿童对父母参与照顾的影响。在对273名受访者进行访谈的基础上，我们解决了有孩子对照顾亲属和非亲属的影响；评估儿童特征，特别是年龄和性别对父母提供帮助的影响；我们将研究这些因素如何随着母亲的职业而变化。总的来说，我们发现孩子的存在将父母连接到照顾网络中，而不是限制他们。这种影响取决于孩子的特征（包括年龄和性别）以及父母的特征（如性别和就业）。
This article assesses the effects of children on parents' involvement in caregiving. On the basis of interviews with 273 respondents, we address the effects of having children on care given to kin and nonkin; assess the Effects of children's characteristics, especially age and gender, on the help mothers and fathers provide; mid examine how these vary with mothers' employment. Overall, we find that the presence of children connects parents into networks of care more than it constrains them, The effects vary depending on the characteristics of the child (including age and gender) as well as characteristics of the parent (like gender and employment).
