Abstract
⺠Examines mechanisms for the association between maternal employment and child obesity. ⺠We examine data from the American Time Use Survey for 2003-2009. ⺠Working mothers spend less time investing in child diet and physical activity. ⺠Decreases in time are greatest when children are young. ⺠Husbands offset little (15%) of these decreases in time.
