Abstract: This research investigates the association between a mother’s employment status and a respondent’s opinion on gender dynamics in contexts including family, government and workforce. Children with working mothers tend to get better grades in school but are more susceptible to stress (Li, W. C., & Tong, D., 2023). Few studies have explored this relationship further into the life of the child though. Some research data shows that daughters with working mothers tend to get better paying jobs, work more hours and occupy higher positions. Gender roles have been explored in relation to respondents’ personal practices with the results of sons with working mothers being inclined to spend more time with family and daughters with working mothers spending less time on housework (McGinn, K. L., Ruiz Castro, M., & Lingo, E. L., 2019). The results indicated a statistically significant relationship between a respondent’s quantitatively assigned “gender roles” score and their mother’s working status when respondents were 16. More specifically, a mother’s working status seemed to be significantly associated with respondent’s support of female presidency, abortion and women in the workforce.
