Results indicated that having high levels of individual human and psychological capital and lower levels of family social ecological barriers predicted higher levels of maternal paid labor market activity and psychological well-being.
In coal-mining districts maternal paid work and paternal domestic labour were negligible, gendered roles were sharply defined, and men and women formed themselves into distinct social worlds (Church, 1986, pp. 611 637).
In the Nordic countries, labour force participation rates are generally high throughout the entire family cycle, whereas in Southern, Eastern and to some extent Western Europe (i.e. the German-speaking countries), female and maternal paid employment remain highly dependent on the number of children and the educational attainment of women (Adema and Whiteford 2007; OECD 2007).
Children with SCD did not differ significantly from healthy siblings in the distribution of age, gender, country of origin, parental marital status, maternal educational level or parental paid employment.
Our current maternal services pay little or no attention to patients' psychosocial support despite evidences from Cochrane review that it is beneficial [ 1].
Austria offered year-long maternal leave, paying a woman up to 40% of her working earnings.
Our initial literature review was performed to obtain a sense of the range of definitions and conditions included in various studies of maternal morbidity, paying particular attention to the similarities and discrepancies of the definitions used across the studies.
Consideration of the needs of pregnant women and their ability and willingness to attend maternal services and pay for them is central to the provision of accessible and acceptable maternal care.
This research aims to estimate maternal willingness to pay (WTP) for nutrition counseling services and to examine potential factors associated with their WTP.
The first and most common situation described, but also the least problematic to manage from an ethical perspective, was when pregnant women experienced inconvenience, discomfort and possible medical risks, but at the same time there was a good deal of confidence that this maternal sacrifice would pay off in terms of positive fetal health outcome.
