Are we offering the support parents want and can realistically use?
Compares available supports with mothers’ willingness to use them, showing why a caring design must address privacy, travel, production targets and practical preferences.
Study context
304 formally employed mothers in Naivasha, Kenya, employed before delivery and at survey.
Age / stage: Mothers of children twelve months or younger.
Read with three questions
- Which supports were available and which were most strongly desired?
- Why were some mothers hesitant about pumps, storage and lactation rooms?
- How did production targets and travel time affect views on childcare options?
Keep the limits in view
Stated willingness is not subsequent uptake or effectiveness; a single locality’s formally employed mothers may not represent informal workers or other industries.
