美国全职妈妈所占的比例稳步上升

The report also found a drop in women working because of the recession, a trend that has lingered as the economy recovers. Pew cited an increase in immigrant families, for whom it is more common to have a mother stay at home with her children, and an increase in the number of women who said they were disabled and unable to work.

该报告还发现经济衰退导致参加工作的女性减少，这一趋势在经济复苏期间仍在持续。Pew将这归因于移民家庭的增加，在这样的家庭中，妈妈留在家中照顾孩子更为普遍。Pew认为，这还因为自称有残疾和无法工作的女性在增加。

A companion public opinion survey by Pew, from 2013, found that mothers are much more likely than fathers to have reduced work hours, take a significant amount of time off, quit a job or, by a small margin, turn down a promotion in order to care for a child or family member. Pew said 42% of mothers said they had reduced their work hours to care for a child or family member, versus 28% of fathers.

Pew在2013年同时进行的一项民意调查发现，和爸爸相比，妈妈减少工作时间、请长假以及离职的可能性要大得多，妈妈也比爸爸更有可能（尽管差距不是很大）为了照顾孩子或家庭成员而拒绝升职。Pew称，42%的妈妈说，她们为了照顾孩子或家庭成员而减少了工作时间，而这样做的爸爸只占28%。

A second Pew survey, taken this year, found most in the general public think that children are better off with a parent at home: 60% said children are better off with a parent at home, versus 35% who said kids are just as well off when parents work.
