Title: Evidence from Longitudinal Data on the Impact of Working Mother Status on Children’s Education Attainment
Abstract: The debate over whether mothers’ employment during the early years of a child’s life has a positive or negative impact on the child’s later development is furthered by this study. This is based on the fact that employment frequently results in less family time, which may prevent mothers from fully caring for their children. In 24 Indonesian provinces, this study estimated the short- and long-term effects of mothers’ employment status on their children’s educational outcomes. In order to conduct this study, data from three waves of the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) were used: IFLS-3 in 2000 for children aged 0 to 7, IFLS-4 in 2007 for children aged 7 to 14, and IFLS-5 in 2014 for children aged 14 to 21. The children’s education was the outcome variable, and the mother’s employment status was the relevant variable. In order to overcome endogeneity, the ordinary least square estimation (OLS) method and instrumental variables were used to analyze the relationship between outcome and interest variables in this study (IV). Additionally, a cross-sectional design was employed in this study to estimate the IFLS-4 (in 2007) and IFLS-5 (in 2014) separately. The main result indicates that, as shown by the ordinary least square estimation (OLS) results, the mother’s employment status positively influenced children’s education both in the short and long terms. The instrumental variable (IV) estimate demonstrated that decision-making was a powerful instrument and further demonstrated that mothers’ decisions regarding their children’s access to the workforce had an impact. This study may strengthen working mothers’ boundaries as well as the idea of work-family facilitation in the family. It could also serve as a resource for those involved in regulating policies that assist and support working mothers in establishing the ideal workplace. This requirement is anticipated to promote children’s growth and bring about equity for working mothers in Indonesia.
