Paternal involvement, maternal employment, and adolescents' academic achievement: An 11-year follow-up.

Year: 1993

Type: article

Abstract: An 11-year follow-up study explored the effects of paternal involvement in child rearing and maternal employment in prior years on grades and educational expectations of a group of white, middle-class adolescents from intact families. Past maternal employment was found to be a more powerful predictor of children's academic performance and expectations than was amount of father involvement. Part-time maternal employment appeared to be optimal for children's academic expectations.
