In the study, published in the December issue of the Journal of Family Psychology, 1,364 mothers were interviewed and observed beginning right after the birth of their child through fifth grade about such subjects as depression, health status, juggling work and family life, and parenting. Families were from 10 locations around the U.S.
Women who worked part time and full time said they had fewer symptoms of depression than did non-working mothers. At three years, or once the child began school, those differences disappeared.
At most points during the study mothers working part and full time reported better health than mothers who did not work. Mothers who worked part time said they had less work-family conflicts compared to women who worked full time.
