A New Parent Returns to Work: Gender, Role, and the Labor Market
Captions available
The idea
This capstone follows one constructed employee's return from parental leave, showing how role strain, gender stratification, and labor-market structure interact as one mechanism rather than separate stories.
Where people slip
One constructed case illustrates how these subjects interact; it is not a data point, and no figure here is a reported statistic.
