Abstract
Studies of the effects of variations in infant care are reviewed in relation to maternal employment. The research suggests that maternal employment may be a contributory factor in hindering the development of an optimal caretaker-infant relationship. Suggestions for further research, particularly in areas related to the formulation of social policy, are presented.Keywords
