Lenore is an applied researcher, whose research focuses on social policy and program evaluation, and issues related to gender disparities in labor, health, and migration. In Brazil, Lenore has researched extensively the experience of low-income women in the informal economy, focusing on issues related to decent work, social policy, and family well-being. Lenore’s doctoral dissertation, The Work/Family Experience in The Informal Labor Market: Evidence from Informally Employed Mothers in Brazil, set forth an in-depth qualitative analysis of low-income working motherhood in the informal economy. Focusing on low-income, informally employed mothers in Salvador, Brazil, the study found that for these mothers, the work/family experience is a difficult and precarious one, shaped by persistent micro and macro-societal biases at home and in the labor market. These biases manifest along four intersecting lines: gender, race, class, and motherhood status. Going forward in policy and practice, issues of quality, affordable care provision for all working mothers, and the equitable inclusion of informally employed mothers in the labor market, must be addressed.
