很多媽媽為了照顧孩子,都會放棄自己的事業(yè)追求;女兒們也是一樣,父母老了以后,為了照顧他們,就會選擇“女兒職業(yè)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.
“女兒職業(yè)道路”是指女性為照顧年老的父母,利用彈性時間工作或減少工作時長,從而減少了自己職業(yè)晉升機(jī)會的一種職業(yè)發(fā)展道路。
Daughter track這個詞與mommy track(母親職業(yè)道路)相對,后者指母親為照顧孩子而采取的同樣做法。
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.
研究發(fā)現(xiàn),女性更可能肩負(fù)起照顧老人的責(zé)任,走上所謂的“女兒職業(yè)道路”。她們力圖兼顧工作和照顧父母,但職業(yè)發(fā)展卻因此受阻。
