Preferred term

blurred boundaries between home and market  

Definition

  • Sociologists view institutional boundaries, like those that delineate the market from the home, as socially negotiated, dynamic, and potentially contested. Although the term market is broad and can encompass a range of commercial activities, a focus on the boundaries between paid and unpaid work is evident in this area of inquiry.
