Abstract
Statement of Problem How does the functionality of dual-earning households effect the quality of relationships within families with children, and what is the impact on child and adolescent moral, social and educational development? Parent and children routines in dual-earning households were tracked and examined to determine their well-being and the level of functionality within the family household, the workplace, and the educational environment. Sources of Data Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through the use of questionnaires, specifically dataset three of The 500 Family Study. Conclusions Reached Findings indicate minimal significance correlation with the positive outcomes of children of dual-role households. As there is no featured comparable data in the study, future research is important to understand the relevance of time management, patterns of parenting and child development. Social workers should be knowledgeable in the areas of establishing and strengthening the relationships between parents and children to provide effective services to this population.
