Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (pages 34-37). This paper presents findings from a qualitative study conducted in the Mugda Area, focusing on the perceptions of employed mothers regarding parenting and early childhood development. In-Depth Interviews and focus group discussions were done among 16 employed mothers having 3 -5 aged children. The research revealed that working mothers face challenges in balancing their professional responsibilities with parenting duties. While they acknowledged the positive aspects of employment, such as financial stability and role modeling, they also expressed concerns about spending less time with their children. This lack of time was associated with strained parent-child relationships, aggressive behavior in children, and lower academic achievement. Furthermore, the study highlighted the importance of societal support and policies in assisting working mothers in managing their dual roles effectively. Recommendations included the implementation of laws related to childcare and maternity leave, facilitating remote work opportunities, and providing support from partners and family members. Additionally, the study discussed the benefits and drawbacks of mothers' engagement in the workforce on child development. While limited time with children posed challenges, supportive and involved parenting was found to foster independence and responsibility in children. Antenna Sarker M.
