The closest I have found to this is in Pope Leo XIII's encyclical
Rerum Novarum §20:
the worker [should not]…be…led away to neglect his home and family
Of course regarding wives (
ibid. §42):
Women, again, are not suited for certain occupations; a woman is by nature fitted for home-work
Perhaps earlier encyclicals, such as before or during the industrial revolution, address my question.
The Three Marks of Manhood (ch. 7) says:
Familial poverty…recognizes the desirability of subsistence food production, cottage industries and even, if possible, a father’s working from or in close proximity to home.
I'm wondering if this statement can be backed up by encyclicals.
