abstract: 'The United States is one of the few countries in the world without
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
national paid parental leave benefits. The lack of a universally
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
available policy drives women out of the paid labor force, with a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disproportionate impact on low-income women. In this article, I
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
illuminate the mechanisms by which structural inequality reproduces
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
class inequality across the transition to motherhood. Between 2012 and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015, I interviewed 44 first-time mothers from diverse class
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
backgrounds. From their narratives, I identify three typologies of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working womenprofessional, pink-professional, and low-wage workersand
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
show how formal workplace policies and informal practices, coupled with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women''s cultural knowledge, shape new mothers'' employment trajectories
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
when they have their first child. Policy makers and social workers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
serving new mothers need to be attuned to how women''s occupational group
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
may facilitate or inhibit access to parental leave, in order to pave the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
way for more equitable paid family leave for all women.'
