The largest number of women in history is employed outside the home including 55% of mothers with children less than 18 years of age. The attitudes of pediatricians toward employed mothers were assessed by a mail survey to the entire membership of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Usable responses were received from 5,758 pediatricians (31%). Adequacy of child care and economic necessity were ranked as the most important factors considered by responding pediatricians when advising a mother inquiring whether she should work outside the home. One third of the respondents stated the child can be any age when the mother becomes employed. The majority of respondents did not feel there was a difference between children of employed mothers and homemaker mothers. Special considerations for employed mothers were provided by half of the respondents, more frequently by female than male pediatricians. Most respondents are supportive of mothers working outside the home, but bias against employed mothers does exist. Pediatricians whose spouses do not work outside the home, those in older age groups, and male pediatricians tended to hold more traditional attitudes toward maternal employment.
