	`Deciding to work part-time causes anxiety for many workers. They wonder`
	`what their family will have to give up to compensate for their salary cut;`
	`they worry about how to convince their boss that the arrangement won't hurt`
	`the company. On top of that, many workers face the nagging fear that they`
	`are doing irreparable damage to their careers by reducing their commitment`
	`to the corporate world.`

	`A recent study by Catalyst, a New York-based non-profit group that works`
	`to advance women in business, may offer some reassurance to workers on this`
	`last point. In 1989, Catalyst began following the careers of workers who`
	`had switched to part-time positions or other flexible work arrangements.`

	`Now the group has released a follow-up survey of 24 women from the`
	`original group. Most of the women said they were satisfied with the`
	`trade-offs they made to better balance work with the rest of their lives.`
	`Half of them had returned to full-time work; most of the rest continued to`
	`work part-time.About half said they had been promoted during the period`
	`when they worked part-time.`

	`''This small group of women has shown that they can have children, cut`
	`back on career efforts for a period of time and still create careers that`
	`they find rewarding and that add value to their companies,'' said Marcia`
	`Brumit Kropf, vice president of research and information services at`
	`Catalyst.`
