Impact of Children/Adolescent Mental Health Problems on Maternal Employment: A Longitudinal Analysis

在英国，八分之一的儿童和青少年受到心理健康问题的影响（NHS，2017）。在21世纪的世纪，这些问题变得越来越普遍，并成为儿童/青少年学习、发展、身体健康和未来经济成果的主要障碍（英国政府，2011年）。需要在这一领域开展更多的研究，以了解儿童/青少年的心理健康问题如何会对家庭成员，特别是母亲的就业造成障碍，以及这些障碍对于某些群体的不同方式是否存在系统性的变化。这使我们能够看到这些问题对经济的总体负担。我对文献的贡献是使用千年队列研究（MCS）的数据集来研究儿童/青少年的心理健康问题如何影响他们母亲的工作成果。

One in eight children and adolescents in the UK are affected by mental health issues(NHS, 2017). In the 21st century, these issues are becoming more prevalent and area major obstacle to learning, development, physical health and future economicoutcomes in children/adolescents (HM Government, 2011).There needs to be more research in this area to see how mental health issues inchildren/adolescents can create barriers to employment for family members,particularly mothers, and whether there is a systematic variation in the way thesebarriers differ for certain groups. This allows us to see the overall burden of theseissues on the economy.My contribution to literature is to examine how mental health issues inchildren/adolescents affect the work outcomes of their mothers using a longitudinaldataset from the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS).
