A review of the literature was conducted to provide an archival resource on the cognition and personality of children of working mothers. This review combined the results of various studies and found that there was a negative effect of mothers’ employment on cognition of children.

The review will go a long way to help the scholars and academicians as a foundation and support for a new insight that they want to contribute.
