INTRODUCTION

Man and women are two realities of this world. Their composition may be different

according to the area, culture and level of education Due to ever growing responsibilities and

economic disparities, the women, being large part of whole population, are forced to take part

in economic activities. Their participation reduces the time span of their children

achievement and training. This phenomenon lasts it impact on the lives of their children.

The achievement of children is totally based on parent i.e father and mother. Due to

defined roles of both genders, it may be abstracted easily that mother is key responsible factor

in the training of a child. It is the mother who has to provide basic training of different values

from the early age. A mother is particularly important not because she has special skills but

because she is with her children for a much greater time than any other person and her

instructions reflects a very strong influence on attitudes, abilities and behaviour of children.

Most of those children who are successful and well-adjusted come from homes where

parental attitudes are favourable and a wholesome relationship existed between children and

parents (priyanka aero and DavinaJain 2010).

The absence of mother can create a lot of problems in the achievement of a child. The

mother does not only provide basic nutrition facilities but also an environment where a child

can learn to realize the surrounding, relation, ownership of relation, difference between

possessions etc. This is why that the role of mother is considered very critical for the health,

achievement and training of her child.

Shalala expressed that the situation of women in the current era is very difficult. They

have to face many challenges. They are diverted in more directions. Some women put all

6
their efforts to build their careers but others wait until their children become school ages.

Some women have their own choice of employment while others are forced to work.

This research explains the impact of working women on the training and achievement

of their children by the way that the working women have no time to nourish their children

properly. The basic aim of this research is to provide the overall impacts of women jobs on

their children’s achievement. The flaws which prevail when a mother has no time to give her

children in the personal training and achievement of children are determined on their initial

levels. This research can help the researchers to determine the degree of impact of women

jobs on the achievement of their children.

Review of related literature

Variable

In this research there are two variables

I. Working women’s duties

II. Student’s academic achievement

Working women in Pakistan

Working mothers in Pakistan usually put the needs of their family first, neglecting their own

needs in the process. This puts a good deal of pressure on a woman. For many working

women, the issue is more than one of economic concern. They want to know that they have

placed their children in a safe, protected and nurturing environment while they work. Like

their children, mothers also need a safe, supportive and encouraging environment in order to

succeed at balancing their own personal needs with seeing to the needs of their child.

As a working mother, it is important to feel comfortable with her decision. Too many times,

however, working mothers feel that they need to defend their choice. It is usually believed

that employment of a mother has certain effect on the overall growth and development of

children. The first five years are very crucial for the cognitive, affective and psychomotor

development of children. The teenage period of children is better of those who get an early

and proper attention of their mothers. They are free and feel easy to share everything with

their parents. Working mothers mostly have threatened the early years of their children in the

different countries. The care and affection necessary for children at an early age is not

9
replaceable. It influences the later life of children. The house hold mothers can perform a

good job to train and educate their children.

Employment of mothers and child development in Pakistan

In Pakistan, there is almost found a debate on child development and mother’s employment.

Different people have different views about the impact of mothers’ job on child development.

Some suppose mothers’ employment favourable for children while others oppose it. The

supporters are of the opinion that at present time, the trend of mothers' employment is

increasing day by day. The mothers of infants and school age children are almost found

searching and getting jobs. It is very difficult to understand the root cause of this change. The

increasing trend of mothers’ employment makes the sense that mothers’ employment has no

negative effect on child development. Moreover they call it a part of social change and

pressure which cannot be stopped.

The opponents argue that attachment between mother and child takes place in the beginning

years of children. The most important period of child development is fist few years of

children and at this stage children need the mothers most. Their cognitive, affective and

psychomotor development is based on this earliest attachment of mothers. If this attachment

between moth and child during early period is interrupted, there is a great risk that the

children will become detached, emotionally disrupted and there will be mistrust in the later

relationship between mothers and children. The early separation of mothers due to job has

negative effect on child’s social, psychological and emotional development.

Some studied have proved that role of working mother is ideal for children. The children of

mothers realize the importance of work in the early part of life. They understand the value of

time they spent with mothers more than children of house hold mothers. This creates the

10
sense of responsibility and work ethic. The other studied have shown those children of

working mothers are less socialized, less psychological and emotionally mature and more

aggressive.

Findings and discussion

Trend of mothers’ employment

The trend of mothers’ employment is increasing day by day. The idea was supported by 90%

of women 85% of students and 95% of teachers. They all agreed that general poverty is the

main motive of mothers’ employment. In this regard mothers said that increasing inflation

had made it compulsory for the mothers to get a suitable employment. The expenses of daily

routine cannot be met easily without the job of mothers. Moreover, mothers do job for the

sake of better education and training of their children. Students and teachers mutually

expressed that working of mother and father jointly has become very essential for the family

expenses.

Mothers stay home versus working mothers

There is a significant difference between the employed and unemployed mothers. The

statement was supported by 95% of mothers, 88% of students and 56% of teachers. In this

regard mothers told a myth that mothers who choose to work are selfish because they are not

putting the needs of their children first. The fact is different here. The working mothers are

comparatively healthier and endure less from depression than non-working mothers. They

further expressed that if mothers are sad and depressed, the children will know this sooner or

later and it will put a strain on the children and parent affiliation, even though mother may

stay at home. Similarly if a mother finds suitable job and pursues it, there will only be more

of herself to give to her children. Besides, working mothers are setting the examples for their

children with reference to learning how to fulfil responsibilities, having pride in one’s work

11
and the value of being a productive and self-relying individual. The teachers stated that if

mothers have to do work due to financial necessity or for career fulfilment, she should not

feel sorry for her preference. They quoted the myth that unless the family is rich, mother need

to go to work. The students emphasized that a succeeding earning by mothers is essential in

order to meet the family expenses and provide basic necessities. So the mothers working out

of home contribute the family more than the mothers stay at home.

Children’s views about mothers’ employment

The children’s view about mothers’ employment was found positive. The idea was supported

by 90% of women, 51% of teachers and 56% of students. There is a myth that a child’s home

life must be very bad if mother prefers to go out for work. The arguments found in this study

are against this myth. In this regard mothers expressed that their children have no objection

on their work. More over mothers provide a good day care to her children. It is fresh, joyful,

hoarded with toys, packed with a caring staff and some other children to play with them and a

lot of pleasing activities are made available. Students expressed that both children and

mothers are satisfied with the working situation of mothers. They get more love and affection

from the mothers coming from office. Besides, they have a great fun on holidays. Their

mothers mostly take them for outing regularly. Teachers expressed that the myth, if mothers

go back to work too early, their babies will not bond with them adequately, is not applicable

here. The mother and child relation is made stronger by quality time together, not quantity.

Though child feels some hesitation in the absence of mother but as soon as children get love

and attention from mother when she returns, they forget the absence of mother and their

relation becomes stronger.

Children of employed and unemployed mothers

No significant difference is found between children of employed and unemployed mothers.

The idea was supported by 56% of mothers, 80% of students and 95% of teachers. The test

12
conducted showed that the score of employed and unemployed mothers’ children remained

consistent and nearly same. The score of girl children of working mothers was comparatively

more than boy children. Same was true for children of non-working mothers. More over

teachers expressed that they have observed no difference between these two categories of

children. They argued that if all the children are brought on the stage and asked to perform

some special task, none will be able to recognize the basic difference between children of

jobless and job doing mothers. Mothers called all mothers as working mothers. The

education, training and growth of children depend on the healthy interaction of home and

school. They further explained that the description of working mothers is different in the eyes

of society. Mother has to play the role of superwoman with extraordinary powers and

capacities. Because of such powers she is able to maintain a balance within her family life

and professional responsibilities. She struggles to do extremely well in both the fields. The

rising number of working mothers is a clear proof of it. Students added that the present

conservative society has created so many boundaries in her way to achieve the goals of life.

The traditions, myths and superstitions are the main causes of such hindrance.

Attachment of employed mothers with children

The attachment between employed mothers and children is decreasing. The statement was

supported by 95% of teachers, 80% of students and 98% of mothers. While defining

attachment mothers stated that attachment is strong affection bond between mother and

children. It always increases between infant and mother under normal conditions but the case

of employed mother is totally different.

The strong attachment mostly takes place at an early period of child development but

employed mothers who stay most of the time of the day out of home, the attachment suffers

badly. Teachers quoting a myth told that when mothers go to work early in the morning, their

babies will not bond with them adequately. They argued that if the early attachment phase

13
gets interrupted, there will be a risk for children. They will become detached from mothers

and emotionally disrupted and unable to build true relationships. Students expressed that

children’s home life must be very bad if they are kept under the care of any person other than

mother. They further told that disorder and inferiority complex can take place during early

eight to ten years of child’s age. There they need the love, affection, time and guidance of

mothers the most. In that case separation affects the attachment the most, especially during

prolonged, repeated separation from the mother.

Employment of mothers and infant development

The job of mothers affects the infant development of children. The statement was supported

by 89% of mothers, 99% of teachers and 78% of students. In this regard teachers gave

psychological reference and told that early separation due to mothers’ employment affects

both mothers and children. The mother child relationship is interrupted. Primary care taker

should be mother. None can play the role of mother. Teachers further argued that when no

company allows an employee to hire someone else to do the job in place of that employee, so

how a mother can expect to hire someone else to raise her own child. The infant children

need the love of mother the most at this stage. More over working mothers often forget the

basic needs of their children i.e. Proper sleeping duration, regular physical exercise, hygienic

diets, constant discipline and help in school home work etc. That is because they are not in

position to see those basic needs due employment work load and tension. The students stated

that in infant period children need due care of mothers. None can take the place of mothers

because the love of mothers is unconditional and rest all love is conditional. Mother has the

capacity to know what a child wants at this stage of development. Mothers explained that

children start trusting others when mothers are with them during early period. In case the

mother goes to job, children feel loneliness and lose their confidence and security. This

14
makes children feel inferiority anxiety, insecurities and mistrust in the world around children.

It is only mother who can build the foundation of a child strong.

Working mothers and cognitive development of children

Job of the mothers has no effect on children’s cognitive development. The argument was

supported by 98% teachers, 88% mothers and 78% students. The teachers explained that

cognitive development consists on knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis,

synthesis and evaluation and the children of working and house hold mothers have same

cognitive development. They gave the reference of class room tests and performance and

emphasized that some students have more grip on knowledge and comprehension while

others are expert in evaluation and application. Mothers urged that cognitive development

depends upon heredity and environmental factors. Heredity is natural and environment is

artificial and can be changed. Every mother whether employed or non-employed tries her best

to provide the best environment necessary for child development. This can be observed from

the fact that children of employed mothers get education in the best schools of the locality.

Students argued that employed mothers make the children more independent. The children of

working mothers start dreaming and planning their career, building relationships and families

independently. They discover possibilities, chances and laid the foundation of their own

identity under the supervision of their mothers. Working mothers guide their children

comparatively better.

Working mother and children’s social development

The job of mothers has not effect on children’s social development. The statement was

supported by 90% of mothers, 80% of students and 56% of teachers. Mothers argued that in

the absence of mothers children look for the company from others. This trend of children is

increasing day by day resulting in more stability in social development. Teachers argued that

children, in the absence of mothers, develop social interactions with other people. They

15
become socially strong, mentally alert and physically strong. This creates a sense of

commitment. Students explained that the children of employed mothers seek the company

from others. They make friends and this process of making friends is the sign of social

development.

Mothers’ employment and the emotional Development of children

Mothers’ employment affects the emotional development of children. The statement was

supported by 55% of women, 59% of students and 80% of teachers. Teachers stated that a

mother who leaves her child in the care of others whole the day causes psychological and

mental disturbance because none can equalize the love and affection of a mother. The

prolonged separation of a mother creates emotional distress for both children and mothers.

The sense of detachment from her child makes mothers feel guilty and child deprived.

Mothers explained that attachment between child and his mother becomes strong under

normal conditions but due to due to prolonged daily separation of mothers in the early years

the attachment between children and mothers is badly affected. Students supporting the idea

expressed that child care is essential for mothers. Working mothers are unable to pay due

attention on their children. If the mother goes out for the work round the day, she returns

tiredly and becomes unresponsive, neglectful and abusive. The mothers' such behaviour

creates negative impression over children’s mental and emotional development.

Mothers’ employment and the language development of children

Mothers’ employment does not have any effect on language development. The argument was

supported by 55% of students, 80% of mothers and 95% of teachers. Mothers emphasized

that there is no differences in language development of children whether mothers stayed at

home or worked. Teachers argued that in some tests of language, comprising reading,

writing, speaking and listening skills, even the daughters of employed mothers obtained

higher scores. Students stated that working mothers are out of the home round the day but it

16
does not effect on language development of children because child learns the language from

the person who looks after child and from environmental people. The language learning will

be affected if the person looking after child does not speak the mother language of child.

Mothers’ employment and the self confidence

Mothers’ employment promotes self-confidence. The idea was supported by 52% of women,

67% of students and 90% of children. Mothers argued that working mothers positively

encourage their children comparatively more. The employed mothers' daughter looks women

a more competent in the traditionally male dominant society. She tries to follow her mother in

the cut through competition. Teachers argued that they have seen more self confidence in the

children of employed mothers. They explained that girls take their mother a role model to

follow. They feel themselves more competent. Students argued that mothers’ personality,

social attitude, kind nature, struggle, hardworking, greater sense of control, mental health, life

satisfaction and morale sets an example for their children to follow. Moreover working

mothers do not differentiate between sons and daughters. They keep their children equal.

Thus the behaviour of employed mothers towards children builds the self-confidence of

children.

THEORIES

Dr. Abdul Sitar (2012) using a simple approach drown the conclusion that there is a strong

relationship between working women and their children’s achievement.

David Pelcovitz (2013) found that full time employment of methods is decreasing association

between children and mother so value are minimizing in the next generations.

Waldfogel (2010) found that the part time jobs of mothers have a healthy effect on the next

generation.

17
Parents have important effects on their child's attachment system. Studies have been

conducted with children to try and measure whether or not the child is secure in their

relationship with their parents. In a study by George and Solomon, children project

themselves into a story. The child is given a storyline centred on the idea that their mother

and father had to go away for the night and they were left with a baby sitter. They are given

mommy and daddy dolls to use to show their feelings when the parents leave and to show

their feelings when the parents return. Secure children express fears about their parents

leaving them, but they are resolved when the parents return home. Avoidant children do not

allow their fears and anxieties to show. They act as if everything is okay and they feel secure.

Ambivalent-dependent children tell stories about what they do when their parents are away.

Distressing and bad times are ignored while joyful, good times are exaggerated. These

children seem to have difficulty expressing more than one emotional perspective at a time.

Finally, disorganized-controlling children introduce fear into the story but cannot resolve it.

The parents remain physically and emotionally unavailable to the child, and the story ends

with no resolution (Howe, Brandon, Hidings, & Schofield, 1999).

Insecure attachment systems have been linked to psychiatric disorders, to which a child is

especially susceptible after the loss of an attachment figure. Children with insecure

attachment patterns "develop the inability to form secure attachments and react in a hostile,

rejecting manner with their environment". Severe attachment disorders cause the child to get

close to an attachment figure, and then pull away before they can be rejected or they deem

themselves unworthy in the eyes of the attachment figure. Children with secure attachment

patterns are capable of forming new attachment relationships while maintaining their current

relationship with their parents. Insecure children focus all of the attention on achieving a

better relationship with their parents, therefore making it difficult to form new attachment

relationships.

18
The basic assumptions of the attachment theory are as follows:

I. There is absence of mother when she is needed by the child.

II. The behavior of attachment is natural and not self –created.

III. The parenting behavior is in some degree pre-programmed.

The above theory is highly relevant to this research because the relation between child and

mother is based on some psychological perspectives. Furthermore, the level of attachment is

an expression of training between both that is mother and child.

This theory is also relevant to the research on the basis that it tells us the attachment style

where a child can get proper training from mother due to this particular attachment. The

absence of mother does not tell us about the destruction of such attachment but also the

disturbance level of training while mother is not available due to earn her livelihood.
