In a review written in 1979, I noted that there was a paucity of
research examining the effects of maternal employment on the infant
and young child and also that longitudinal studies of the effects
of maternal em ployment were needed (Hoffman, 1979). In the last 10
years, there has been a flurry of research activity focused on the
mother's employment during the child's early years, and much of
this work has been longi tudinal. All of the studies reported in
this volume are at least short-term longitudinal studies, and most
of them examine the effects of maternal employment during the early
years. The increased focus on maternal employment during infancy is
not a response to the mandate of that review but rather reflects
the new employment patterns in the United States. In March 1985,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 49.4% of married women
with children less than a year old were employed outside the home
(Hayghe, 1986). This figure is up from 39% in 1980 and more than
double the rate in 1970. By now, most mothers of children under 3
are in the labor force."
