daughter track 女儿职业道路
Daughter track is a career path where a woman reduces her chances of advancement by working flextime or fewer hours to look after her elderly parents. “女儿职业道路”是指女性为照顾年老的父母,利用弹性时间工作或减少工作时长,从而减少了自己职业晋升机会的一种职业发展道路。 Daughter track这个词与mommy track(母亲职业道路)相对,后者指母亲为照顾孩子而采取的同样做法。 Example: The survey found that women were more likely to shoulder responsibilities for caring for the elderly and take a so-called "daughter track" approach, in which their careers are slowed as they juggle work and parental care. 研究发现,女性更可能肩负起照顾老人的责任,走上所谓的“女儿职业道路”。她们力图兼顾工作和照顾父母,但职业发展却因此受阻。 |
