Preferred term

mommy track  

Definition

  • By the 1990s, “mommy track” had become a common idiom for a career path in which mothers choose work arrangements that are compatible with bearing the main responsibility for having children. Women may benefit from certain work arrangements, such as flexible hours, diminished responsibilities, or the ability to work from home, but usually at the cost of professional disadvantages, such as fewer opportunities for advancement, less responsibility and authority, and reduced income. [Source: Encyclopedia of Gender and Society; Mommy Track]
