在过去的20年里，英国母亲在分娩后第一年的就业率大幅上升。我们研究是否早期产妇就业对儿童的结果产生不利影响。我们分析了20世纪90年代初在英国出生的一组儿童的丰富数据，并研究了早期母亲就业对测量4至7岁儿童认知发展的三个结果变量的影响。我们还探讨了这种影响是否随母亲的教育程度、单亲状况或所使用的替代非孕产妇儿童保育的类型而变化。
The last 20 years has seen a huge increase in employment among mothers in the first year after giving birth in the UK. We examine whether early maternal employment has an adverse effect on child outcomes. We analyse rich data from a cohort of children born in the UK in the early 1990s and examine the impact of early maternal employment on three outcome variables measuring child cognitive development between four and seven years of age. We also explore whether the effect varies with the mother's educational attainment, lone parent status or the type of replacement non-maternal childcare used.
