Balancing employment and family life creates a variety of challenges in terms of child care and household work for both parents. This has major implications in health care because
a. Maternal employment has been demonstrated to be harmful for children.
b. Maternal employment has shifted the majority of household tasks to the male.
c. Fathers now participate more fully in day-to-day parenting responsibilities.
d. The number of single-parent families has decreased since 1970.
ANS: C
There is no proof that maternal employment is damaging for children. However, finding quality child care is a major issue. Managing household tasks is another challenge. Although equal division of labor receives verbal approval, most household tasks remain "women's work." Evidence suggests that the fathering role is changing. Fathers now participate more fully in day-to-day parenting responsibilities. The number of single-parent families, which doubled from the 1940s to the 1990s, seems to be stabilizing.
