She found that they are less likely to be hired, are offered lower salaries, and are perceived as being less committed to a job than fathers or women without children, according to a recent study by Stanford sociologist Shelley Correll.

Strober and Correll discuss costs of child care (day care as well as nannies), as well as the cost of lost wages for the time that women leave the workplace to serve as primary caregivers to children.
