Yeu Mothers’ Jobs Have Modest Effect on Children B y L inda J acobson Whether children are harmed by having mothers who work outside the home is a topic o f great debate But a new study, published this month in the journal Developmen­ tal Psychology, concludes that the negative effects on children aren’t very great. In fact, the researcher who conducted the study concludes that some children benefit from the income that their mothers bring to the household. Elizabeth Harvey, a psychology professor at the University o f Mas­ sachusetts at Amherst, analyzed data from the long-running National Lon­ gitudinal Survey o f Youth, con­ ducted by the U.S. Department of Labor, to determine how parental employment affects children's aca­ demic achievement, behavior, and emotional development.
