Effects of Maternal Employment on Kindergarten and First-Grade Children's Vocational Aspirations.

Selkow, Paula

Sex Roles, v11 n7-8 p677-90 Oct 1984

A study of 142 children (Grades K-1) indicated that those whose mothers were currently employed chose a greater number of occupations and more masculine-oriented occupations, than did children of nonemployed mothers. Girls whose mothers had selected nontraditional fields also tended to aspire to less sex-traditional careers. (Author/KH)
