Maternal Employment and Teenage Character Traits

Over the past couple of decades women have gradually infiltrated the workforce. When considering the statistics over the past decades, these indicate that 1.7 million women entered the labour market between 1991 and 2001 (Herbst, 2006:15). This study explores the impact of maternal employment on the child in terms of development and characteristics displayed in adolescent children. The characteristics or traits that will be measured are motivation, ambition, independence, self confidence, locus of control and time management ability.
