Child care is widely recognized to have an important role in children's health development and women play an important role in the provision of child care. Also, women's roles have become more important in today's society because they are responsible for income generation. So, women's labor force participation directly affects children's health. It is important to understand how mothers' labor force participation affects children's nutritional status in order to improve children's health. This study combines the new household economics theory with role incompatibility theory to explore and understand how mothers' labor force participation affects the children's nutritional status, measured by children's height and weight. The study is conducted with the data collected in China in 1991 and 1993. The results of the study showed that mothers' labor force participation does affect child care time and nutrient intake significantly but the effects on nutritional status are mixed.
