At home mothers on the rise linked to costs and limits
New Pew Research data show more women stay home full time with children due to higher child care costs and other factors. The share of nonworking mothers rose to 29 percent in 2012, up from 23 percent at the century’s start, with immigrant mothers and job access issues cited as contributors. A cited example from Liberty, North Carolina notes a family choosing home care over work due to costs.
