Abstract

The mother’s emotional adjustment when she assumes work outside home is the key to whether she succeeds or fails. Although working mothers have become the norm in the society, disapproving attitudes from various strata of the society contribute to the torn and guilty feelings many working mothers experience. The mother’s status as a working woman may consistently have either positive or negative effects on children’s development and educational outcomes.In the present comparative study done on employed and unemployed mothers with children in the age group of 2½-5 years, it was seen that maximum children of employed mothers exhibit moderate behavioural problems 24 (80%) while those of unemployed mothers exhibit mild behavioural problems 22 (73.33%).
