Vaus, David A. de, "The Impact of Children on Sex Related Differences in Church Attendance," Sociological Analysis, 43 (Summer, 1982), 145-154.
Abstract:
Number of children in the family and stage in child-rearing affect frequency of church attendance and have an equal impact on both men and women. The child-rearing role of women does not help to explain why more women than men attend church regularly.
