Work Trajectories of Female and Male Immigrants in Spain

This article aims to examine in depth the work trajectories of individuals over time, in orderto provide a wider perspective of the employment history of immigrants compared to nativepeople, by gender and for more than one decade (2005&-2017) in Spain. We use microdata (cohortand multivariate analysis) from the Labour Force Survey and carry out a comparison forthree groups: the Spanish born in Spain, the Spanish born abroad, and the non-Spanish bornabroad. The results confirm that the non-Spanish born-abroad group is characterized by theexistence of segmented assimilation. All foreigners suffered a loss in their work trajectories,since their employment rate in 2017 has as yet neither reached the level of the last years ofthe previous economic expansion nor the level of the previous cohorts at the same age

Latino Mother/Daughter Dyadic Attachment as a Mediator for Substance Use Disorder and Emotional Abuse

BACKGROUND: To date, no studies have investigated emotional abuse of adult Latina women by their mothers despite evidence that emotional maternal abuse may significantly contribute to the emotional abuse experienced by Latina women in their lifetime. METHODS: Cross-sectional data including 316 women was analyzed using mediation and logistic regression. RESULTS: Overall, 7.1% of mothers and 24.1% of daughters abused drugs; and, 19.5% of daughters were emotionally abused by their mothers. Mother's attachment to her daughter mediated the association between mother's drug abuse and emotionally abusing her adult daughter (Indirect effect: 0.863). DISCUSSION: Latina women can serve as perpetrators of emotional abuse of their adult children. Since drug-abusing daughters are more likely to be victims of emotional abuse by their mothers and drug-abusing mothers are more likely to abuse their daughters, drug-rehabilitation practitioners should incorporate a family abuse component into rehabilitation programs
