如今，从事市场工作的母亲比以往任何时候都多，超过33%的母亲在孩子3个月大时重返工作岗位。本文确定了母亲的市场工作在最初几个月的婴儿的生活对儿童的认知发展的影响。结果表明，在儿童生命的第一年从事这种工作会产生有害影响。在重要的情况下，结果还表明母亲在儿童生命的第一个季度就业的负面影响。然而，产妇市场工作的负面影响被家庭收入增加的积极影响部分抵消。
More mothers engage in marketplace work today than ever before, with over 33% returning to work by the time their child is 3 months old. This article identifies the effects of maternal marketplace work in the initial months of an infant's life on the child's cognitive development. Results suggest that such work in the first year of a child's life has detrimental effects. Where significant, the results also indicate negative effects of maternal employment in the child's first quarter of life. However, the negative effects of maternal marketplace work are partially offset by positive effects of increased family income.
