“…Similar findings were found for the fathers. Contrary to other international studies which show a negative association between having a chronically sick child and mothers' probability of being in paid labour (Guyard et al, 2013;Porterfield, 2002), this study suggests that mothers continue to participate in paid labour after having a chronically sick or disabled child. This is in line with previous Norwegian research in this field (Wendelborg and Tøssebro, 2015).…”

“…It has been well documented that having a child with extra care needs affects mothers' labour market attachment. A number of international studies show associations between children's care needs and reduced maternal employment rates, and more mothers working part-time (DeRigne, 2012;Gordon et al, 2007;Guyard et al, 2013;Lu and Zuo, 2010;Porterfield, 2002;Seltzer et al, 2001).…”

Using longitudinal register data from Norway, the article examines the impact of having a child with intensified care needs on maternal and paternal employment, within a gender equality promoting welfare state. The hypothesis is that parents with a chronically sick or disabled child will have lower employment probabilities, lower labour earnings and higher sickness absence than parents with a healthy child, and that mothers are more affected than fathers when having a child with extra care needs. A quasi-experimental difference-in-difference regression model shows that the employment probabilities of parents with a sick or disabled child are comparable to those of parents with a healthy child, both for mothers and fathers. The analyses further reveal that having a chronically sick or disabled child reduces labour earnings and increases long-term sickness absence among mothers, while fathers' labour earnings and sickness absence are less affected.

“…Some of the income decline could be the result of mothers shifting from full-time to part-time paid employment after having a child with disability. As expected, the more severe a condition was, the more likely mothers were to reduce working hours or stop working entirely, which is in line with [ 10 , 11 , 21 , 32 , 34 , 35 ]. Mothers of children with less severe disabilities appeared to be affected to a lesser extent.…”

Background Caring for children with disabilities has both immediate and long-term economic costs that affect the well-being of children, parents, and society. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of child disability on parental employment and labour income by examining differences by parental gender, disability severity, and child age. Methods The study included children with disabilities born between 2004 to 2011 and their mothers (n = 139,189) and fathers (n = 134,457). Longitudinal data on employment, working hours and labour income was obtained from Statistics Norway, specifically the National Education Database, the Central Population Register and the Event History Database. A quasi-experimental difference-in-differences model was used to examine differences in employment, working hours and labour income. Results The results showed that caring for children with disabilities has a negative effect on mothers’ labour market participation, working hours and labour income. The more severe a child’s condition is, the more likely the mother was to work and earn less, or to stop working entirely. Additionally, the differences in labour market participation and income between mothers of children with and without disabilities increased as their children reached school age. Labour market participation, working hours, and labour income for fathers of children with less severe disabilities is comparable to those of fathers of children without disabilities. Caring for children with more severe disabilities reduces fathers’ labour income but has no effect on their working hours or labour market participation. Conclusion Policymakers and child welfare stakeholders should evaluate policy options and provide the necessary welfare support particularly to mothers caring for children with a more severe disability.

“…29 In France, only one study focused on maternal occupational activity and showed lower rates of employment for mothers of children with a severe disability than in the general population, with no specific difference for mothers of children with CP. 30 The authors emphasized the burden for families who have to care for a child with a cognitive impairment.…”

Aim To describe maternal employment and the socio‐economic status of the household up to 8 years after the very preterm birth of a child, according to the presence and type of motor or cognitive impairment. Method A total of 1885 families from the French EPIPAGE cohort of children who were born very preterm between 1997 and 1998 were included. Motor and cognitive impairments were identified in children between the ages of 2 and 8 years in 770 families and were classified according to type. The 1115 families with children born very preterm without these impairments were considered the reference group. Results Mothers of children with severe motor or cognitive impairments were less often working at 5 years after the birth than the reference mothers (21% and 30% vs 57%; p<0.001). Those working before birth returned to work less often and those not working started to work less often after the birth than did reference mothers. At 8 years, mothers of children with severe impairments reported financial difficulties more often than mothers of children without impairments. Interpretation Despite a fairly protective regulatory framework in France, families of infants born very preterm with severe motor or cognitive impairments are socially underprivileged. Measures to maintain an acceptable standard of living for these families and their children are needed.
