Abstract
AbstractSole mothers potentially experience greater difficulties in meeting the challenges of combining employment and family than do partnered mothers, although there is remarkably little research on the work–family interface of sole mothers. A systematic review of quantitative literature on employed mothers is presented in this article to provide a case for further research on sole employed mothers, in particular for more comparative studies with partnered mothers. Conservation‐of‐resources theory is proposed as a theoretical framework for exploring these differences, research propositions are offered, and the implications of future research are discussed.
