Rationalizing exploitation in care work among Japanese migrant care workers in Aotearoa New Zealand
This study explores how Japanese care workers in New Zealand rationalized and accepted exploitative labor conditions in the care industry. Drawing on 10 in-depth interviews and analyzed through Bourdieu’s symbolic violence, the paper highlights several interpretative strategies participants employed to make sense of and rationalize their social suffering. These included relying on a dual frame of reference that compared their experiences in New Z…
Linguicism in Caregiving
Language communication in caregiving between care recipients and care workers is essential for the well-being and overall care experiences of both parties. However, challenges arise in language communication when care workers and/or recipients are linguistic minorities. With the increasing reliance on migrant workforces in the care industry globally, language communication challenges require careful attention. Research indicates that migrant care…
Trajectories to timing out and the snare of undermining conditions
Using qualitative interviews with a panel of parents over two years (n = 33 and 23) and a retrospective biographical framework, I ask how welfare recipients reach their 60-month lifetime limit; specifically, what conditions, experiences, and circumstances keep them from exiting welfare permanently before 60 months? Recipients traversed an array of trajectories based on differing relationships to the labor market, including cycling in and out of t…
Addressing the Horizontal Gender Division of Labor
In the present article, we analyze a project in a heavy industry plant in Iceland in which the management aims to hire an equal number of women and men and, thereby, to work against the gender segregation of work. For their efforts, called the 50/50 strategy, the plant has received national and international awards. Observations and semi-structured interviews were conducted during five visits to the plant, including 85 interviews with 72 individu…
“I Feel Like It’s a Heavier Burden. . .”
One of the explicit goals of the 1996 welfare reform in the United States was to create conditions that would encourage marriage as a means of reducing poverty and welfare “dependency.” With the exception of a few notable studies that examine reliance on abusive partners and former partners, relatively little scholarly attention has been given to the contours of partnering after welfare reform. Using a feminist lens on data from two qualitative s…
Work–family Management among Low‐wage Service Workers and Assistant Professors in the USA
Noting an inattention to the specific ways in which class, race, and gender combine to affect work–family management, we conducted a qualitative exploration of the processes of intersectionality. Our analysis relies on two points on a continuum of class experiences provided by two groups of predominately white female workers: low‐wage service workers and assistant professors. Drawing on in‐depth interviews with each group, we examine the similari…
Compromises to Carework
Using institutional ethnography (IE), this article explores the social organization of mothers' carework after welfare reform. Carework experiences are shaped by the conditions of low-wage work, welfare policy, and the discourses in which these mothers are embedded. Three discursive frameworks emerge in these women's discussions of the ways they balance carework and paid work: the mothering discourse, the ideological code of the Standard North Am…
