Maternal Depression affects socioeconomics as well: Depressed mothers are more likely to be unemployed (20% vs 8%) compared with non depressed mothers. Moreover only 40% of women suffering from maternal depression are able to remain employed full time, compared with 52% of women who do not suffer from maternal depression. Depressed mothers may have a hard time getting and keeping a job, leading to more need for public assistance. Depression has been shown to be a predictor of greater work disability in the short term and of lower income over time.
