AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores the differences in how employed and nonemployed mothers of children with intellectual disabilities manage the balance between caregiving and work.
- A survey involving 487 mothers in Taiwan revealed that employed mothers benefit from work flexibility and care support, while nonemployed mothers’ success in balancing roles relies on personal factors like age and income.
- The findings suggest that policies aimed at supporting these mothers should tailor strategies based on their employment status.
Article Abstract
Background: Whether employed and nonemployed mothers of children with intellectual disability (ID) have different experiences with reconciliation between care and work has rarely been explored.
Method: A survey was conducted in a county in Taiwan and 487 mothers aged younger than 65 and having a child with ID were interviewed face to face at their homes to explore whether there are different factors related to the reconciliation between care and work among employed and nonemployed mothers.
Results: Except for the common ground of mothers' health and care demands, logistic regression revealed work flexibility and care support were important for employed mothers. In contrast, the success of reconciliation for nonemployed mothers was determined by their individual characteristics (i.e., age, marital status, family income).
Conclusions: Reconciliation policies for mothers with different employment statuses need to use different strategies.
