abstract: 'This exploratory study aims to increase understanding of conflict

  related to integrating work and care among racial and ethnic minority

  and economically disadvantaged populations. Employing community-based

  research methods, we conducted qualitative interviews with women about

  their caregiving needs following the birth of a child. Interviewees

  struggled to balance their families'' need for care with income and other

  basic needs, and they reported experiencing physical, emotional, and

  financial strain. The process of negotiating leave created additional

  stress for workers and families. Our analysis suggests that the conflict

  between work and care is associated with increased social risk and

  vulnerability for members of already vulnerable and marginalized groups.

  Drawing on these insights, specific implications for paid family leave

  policy are discussed.'
