Working Moms Are Happier And Healthier

A report published by The American Psychological Association shows that mothers who maintain their jobs while their children are in infancy and pre-school years are happier and healthier than their more traditional stay at home peers.


Analyzing data starting in 1991 and spanning more than a decade, from the National Institute for Child 
Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development, lead author Cheryl Buehler, PhD, professor of human development and family studies, at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro clarified that : 


"In all cases with significant differences in maternal well-being, such as conflict between work and family or parenting, the comparison favored part-time work over full-time or not working .... However, in many cases the well-being of moms working part time was no different from moms working full time."
