abstract: 'Objective This research examines how undocumented Latina mothers
|
|
|
|
negotiate work-family conflict amid restrictive immigration policies.
|
|
|
|
Background Women in the United States continue to contend with tension
|
|
|
|
between work and family and poor women face particular constraints.
|
|
|
|
Latina immigrants have increasingly settled and formed families in the
|
|
|
|
United States and joined the labor market in low-wage occupations.
|
|
|
|
Unlike U.S.-born women, these women must contend with restrictive
|
|
|
|
immigration policies, suggesting new areas for understanding the
|
|
|
|
intersectional inequalities that shape work-family conflict.
|
|
|
|
Method Findings are based on in-depth interviews conducted with 45
|
|
|
|
Latina immigrant mothers in North Carolina who had paid labor market
|
|
|
|
experience. Interview topics included family, work, and migration across
|
|
|
|
women''s life histories.
|
|
|
|
Results Place-specific policy contexts, working conditions, patriarchal
|
|
|
|
expectations, and lacking access to care networks challenge Latina
|
|
|
|
immigrants'' ability to fulfill the dual motherhood roles they occupy as
|
|
|
|
both family providers and caregivers and nurturers for their children.
|
|
|
|
Conclusion The social expectations of motherhood add a dimension of
|
|
|
|
precarity to women''s vulnerable status as undocumented workers and
|
|
|
|
demonstrate the gendered impact of immigration policies.
|
|
|
|
Implications Restrictive policies make it increasingly difficult for
|
|
|
|
undocumented women to obtain or move between jobs in the low-wage labor
|
|
|
|
market. Findings highlight the importance of considering immigration
|
|
|
|
status in studies of work-family conflict, particularly as policies
|
|
|
|
targeting immigrants intensify.'
