Harvard Study Finds Working Moms Have More Caring and Successful Children

Despite Fox News' protestations, it turns out having a working mother is good for the kids.

A recent Harvard Business School working paper found that employed mothers are more likely to raise daughters with greater professional success and sons who are more caring than children with stay-at-home moms.

Using data from 24 countries spanning back to 2002, the researchers discovered adult daughters of mothers who worked not only had a greater chance of being employed themselves, but also of holding a supervisory position and earning more than daughters with mothers who stayed at home. They're also likely to work longer hours and do less housework.

As for the sons, adult men of employed mothers are more likely to care for their families and participate in household chores. The study also discovered both the sons and daughters of working moms had much more gender-equal attitudes than children with mothers who were at home full-time.
