@marqwalk290 The "working poor" are individuals whose yearly income is below the poverty line. Oftentimes, this is due to extremely low wages, lack of available hours, and little to no benefits. These employers have high turnover rates and care little about the well being of their employees.

@marqwalk290 The term "non-standard work arrangements" refers to jobs that require employees to work outside of the typical 9-5 week schedule. This is typically seen with night shifts and many part time jobs that require employees to work early in the morning or very late into the night.

@marqwalk290 Oftentimes, there is a societal expectation that the mother should always be the household caregiver. Given this, the term "mother blame" refers to blaming any issues with a child on the mother because it's their "expected responsibility" to make sure the child was raised right.

@marqwalk290 The term "double-blind" refers to the dual responsibilities many working mothers face. Many mothers feel the need to spend time and care for their child, but they also need to work in order to support their child financially.

@marqwalk290 "Neo-taylorism" is a scientific approach to workplace management that emphasizes productivity and profits over ethics. This is a good way to maximize direct labor, however, this usually leads to a poor working conditions and a lack of job security among vulnerable workers.

@marqwalk290 The term "just in time employment" refers to the process of companies hiring part time labor, or "on call" workers specifically for busy work periods. This employment does not provide consistent hours, and it is very easy for companies to take advantage of vulnerable workers.

@marqwalk290 The term "agents of socialization" refers to the adolescent experiences that mold and influence future lifestyle choices and career paths. Females who grew up in a house with a nurturing stay at home mother are more likely to take over those responsibilities when they grow up.

@marqwalk290 The "cult of domesticity" is the general idea that women should stay at home and serve as the "caretaker," while the husband goes to work and earns money for the family. In turn, this has created societal expectations for women that are unfair and demoralizing.
