Abstract
Drawing on data from the Family Work Decisions Study, a research project undertaken by the Australian Institute of Family Studies, the authors report that mothers have diverse views about combining paid work with raising children. In addition, many mothers acknowledge that the decisions of other mothers may be different from their own and made in response to individual circumstances and decisions.
