If it is already known in scientific literature how daughters of working mothers enter the world of work more easily and succes-sfully when compared to daughters brought up by unemployed mothers, (Mc Ginn et al., 2019), still needs a deep and thorough analysis of what happens in the current context of women’s widespread job insecurity (World Economic Forum, 2023).
Do widespread difficulties in reconciling caring and working roles and the stigma and guilt conveyed by the extended family and society, effectively perpetuate a patriarchal model, especially in young girls’ minds, besides burdening women’s career paths? The article focuses on the concept of “maternal employment” as a crucial educational, cultural and transformative factor.
