  22. Demographics of Moms in the U.S. • Generations • Baby boomer moms have given rise to the “soccer mom” phenomenon, where moms made efforts to fulfill every expected role of mom and in the process were nicknamed “supermoms.” • Gen X moms tend to be more individualistic, rather than following the stereotypical ideal about parenting, and hence marketers should try not to target Gen X moms with the soccer mom image. • In addition to the size and spending power of Echo Boom moms, they are much more ethnically diverse than other generations of moms. • Moreover, this generation of moms is more likely to put off work to take care of the family.

In 2004, the labor force participation rate for mothers of children younger than a year old was 52.9 percent.5 • Three out of four working mothers work more than 30 hours per week.6 • Over 90 percent of their families use some kind of child care, with children under 5 spending (avg) 36 hours each week in some type of child care arrangement.7,8 Sources: 1U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics.
