Whether employed and nonemployed mothers of children with intellectual disability (ID) have different experiences with reconciliation between care and work has rarely been explored.
A survey was conducted in a county in Taiwan and 487 mothers aged younger than 65 and having a child with ID were interviewed face to face at their homes to explore whether there are different factors related to the reconciliation between care and work among employed and nonemployed mothers.
Except for the common ground of mothers' health and care demands, logistic regression revealed work flexibility and care support were important for employed mothers. In contrast, the success of reconciliation for nonemployed mothers was determined by their individual characteristics (i.e., age, marital status, family income).
Reconciliation policies for mothers with different employment statuses need to use different strategies.
智障儿童的在职母亲和非在职母亲在协调照顾孩子与工作方面的经历是否存在差异，这一问题鲜有人探究。
在台湾的一个县进行了一项调查，对487名年龄小于65岁且育有一名智障儿童的母亲进行了上门面对面访谈，以探究在职母亲和非在职母亲在协调照顾与工作方面是否存在不同的相关因素。
除了母亲的健康状况和照顾需求这一共同点外，逻辑回归显示工作灵活性和照顾支持对在职母亲很重要。相比之下，非在职母亲协调的成功与否取决于她们的个人特征（即年龄、婚姻状况、家庭收入）。
针对不同就业状况母亲的协调政策需要采用不同的策略。
