According to the Pew Research Center fewer mothers prefer full time work today than they did in 1997. Pew also says that roughly 60% of working mothers think part-time work would be ideal. Key quote:
"Among working mothers with minor children (ages 17 and under), just one-in-five (21%) say full-time work is the ideal situation for them, down from the 32% who said this back in 1997, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. Fully six-in-ten (up from 48% in 1997) of today's working mothers say part-time work would be their ideal, and another one-in-five (19%) say she would prefer not working at all outside the home."
The report has a wide range of data on how mothers view work and how the broader public views working mothers.
What??? Women are the providers now and furthermore as single mothers. Men are no longer a part of the family or the lives of our children.
Women need to get back out there and produce. Government funded or corporate child care facilities are optimal in The New Economy.
