Abstract
A complex interplay of indivual, family, work, and public policy factors often makes it difficult for working mothers to perform adequately in their dual roles as family mebers and employee. This article presents an overview of the changing nature of these social systems and their relatinoship to the needs of employed mothers. To train undergraduate and gradute students for effective intervention with this population, occupational social work curricula need to recognize the interactive relationship between the indivudal concerns of working mothes and the broad range of systemic factors that may lead to problems coping with multiple responsibilities.
