母亲在赚取收入活动和家务劳动之间的时间分配对营养干预方案的选择和设计具有重要意义。越来越多的证据表明，在贫困家庭中，母亲参加劳动力队伍与幼儿的健康和营养状况之间存在负面关系。因此，母亲从事经济活动的低收入家庭可能是设计社会服务方案的一个重要群体。当母亲参与劳动力市场时，花在家务活动上的时间-特别是时间密集型活动，如育儿和母乳喂养-有减少的趋势。这对幼儿的健康和营养状况产生影响的决定因素是：（1）工作与儿童保育兼容的程度;（2）替代母亲的人提供的儿童保育的质量; 3）市场上购买的商品和服务可以替代母亲时间的可用性和程度;替代母亲时间的社会服务的提供和质量。本文的第1节利用这些概念来分析菲律宾的数据，母亲的经济活动对幼儿的营养状况的影响。第2节审查了妇女的收入和时间限制与利用社会服务之间的关系，第3节讨论了分析的影响。虽然这些例子主要与菲律宾有关，但这些教训可能具有更广泛的适用性。
The mothers allocation of her time between income-earning activities and work within the household has important implications for the selection and design of nutrition intervention programs. There is increasing evidence that in poor households there is a negative relationship between the mothers labor force participation and the health and nutritional status of the young child. Low income households with economically active mothers may thus constitute a significant group in designing social service programs. When the mother participates in the labor market the amount of time spent in household activities--particularly more time-intensive activities such as child care and breastfeeding--have a tendency to decline. The determinants of the effects of this on the health and nutritional status of the young child are: 1) the extent to which the job is compatible with child care; 2) quality of child care provided by those who substitute for the mother; 3) availability and extent to which market purchased goods and services can substitute for the mothers time and 4) availability and quality of social services which provide substitutes for the mothers time. Section 1 of this paper utilizes these concepts to analyze Filipino data on the effects of mothers economic activity on the nutritional status of younger children. Section 2 reviews the relationship between income and time constraints of the woman and the use of social services and Section 3 discusses the implications of the analysis. Although the examples are related mainly to the Philippines the lessons may have much wider application.
